I took some photos around my neighbourhood of Cabbagetown recently. The majority are of the Easter display at Allan Gardens:

Spring is my favourite season. It has a lot to do with C’s & my birthday and Easter: my favourite holiday. The Spring clothes can officially come out of hiding as the promise of Summer is evident in the greenness of everything and in the sunlight that lingers well into the evenings.

The rain these days has been relentless. In fact, right now as I type this, it’s coming down spectacularly hard. I had to run over to my kitchen window to assess whether or not I should shut it.

Today is my birthday! Which means that it’s also SWAV’s birthday. My blog is two years old!

If I see something or experience something I believe to be bloggable, I take a photo. So here are some photos I’ve not been able to give some blog-time love to.

Dr. Draw‘s birthday party extraordinaire!

On my way home from the birthday, I met Daniel Lioneye and Turisas outside their concert at the Phoenix. We had a 2am snowball fight and took some photos. Helsinki metal isn’t my thing but I was starstruck all the same!

Oh, and yesterday, the Foo Fighters played a concert for us at lunch (courtesy Edge 102.1)

Every day I am thankful for my full life and all who are in it. 31 was a year full of challenges and rewards. 32 comes with more blog posts! A resolution.
