This Enesco (Treasured Memories) “World War I Doughboy” was discovered at a flea market. The seller was asking a dollar. How could I pass him by? He found a new home on our windowsill in Victoria where we live by the ocean. We were nearing our Canadian “Remembrance Day” and I thought this sweet figurine would make a great photo. Because of the strong light coming from behind him off the ocean, he was falling into silhouette. So I grabbed a piece of the whiteboard and reflected the strong sunlight back onto him. As I did, I realized the window had become a mirror for both the whiteboard and his shadow. I loved it!

One of my favourite spots on the planet, Clover Point, just off Dallas Road in Victoria, BC. The spot with its massive family of resident pigeons attracts tourists and locals alike, at all hours of the day. But timed with a beautiful ocean sunset, a visit becomes sublime.

Victoria, British Columbia inner harbour. This is normally a pretty place, but I think grey fog and muted lights made it spectacular.
