As many of you know, I'm an ex-pat. And also a devoted cat owner. Since I was a child, cats have always been part of my family. In fact, when I got divorced, I made sure that kitty custody was at the top of my demands. And sure enough, the kitties came with me. Tellies, furniture -- that can all be replaced. But not the uniqueness of a special ( Read more... )

On that note, time to resume posting of some of my pics. And in honour of the day, here are a few of my favourite pics from Canada, beginning with an image from Halifax harbour.

I'm horribly behind on my One Hundred Things Post, so here's to catching up!

As I try to go back several times a year, I've had the privilege of seeing the lake at different times of the year. There's one particular vantage ( Read more... )

On to part two of One Hundred Things. A month before I left for England in 2003, I travelled to New Orleans for the first time with a good friend of mine. She was actually my first fandom friend and in the late 90's we met through the Star Trek fandom (yes, the Original Series, and yes, I have been active in fandom for going on 13/14 years now.) In ( Read more... )

For my inaugural post of A Hundred Things, I thought I'd start with some pictures from the first few months after I moved from Canada to England. Work brought me to this gorgeous isle and for the first year and a half of my sojourn, I had the pleasure of living in a small town called Topsham, essentially a suburb of Exeter, in the gorgeous county ( Read more... )
