Cook St Village

Here are some scenes of Cook St Village in Victoria!

This is where Emily lives and she loves it. It's a fun area for strolling, going out for coffee, picking up great flowers and people watching. A ten minute walk takes you to Beacon Hill park where you can walk along the oceans edge, go for a run or just enjoy the beautiful view!

West Coast Scenes

On the top of my book shelf.....

Recently I was encouraged to join an on line book sharing site.

The site is both to share impressions of our most recent reads as well as a place to recommend a book to others. This new idea has made me glance over my own book shelves in my home to see some of the great books I have read. On the top of a little book cabinet I have some books that remind me where I am going in the spring. These books were generously given to me as a borrow gift. They came to me in a little cardboard box neatly placed....and were soon to be taken out and placed on the top shelf in plain view. .....I like to take one every now and then to flip through the pages. I especially love the one with black and white photgraphy. I plan on turning my camera on to that mode many times this spring in NYC!!

The top shelf of my book case is and always has been a place to keep precious things.....

The things there inspire me....

The things that I love....

Signs of fall
