I brought my spoilt favourite dollfie dream Aki, I think she had a lovely time too!

It was a hot and muggy day, but at least it wasn’t grey or rainy :) had to walk and take pictures all around XD

Really love the details put onto it!

I had to adjust the photos a little as from this angle it is a bit backlit.

Huge feetsies lol!

Nice back :D

A back you can count on :P

It was a weekday so there wasn’t as many people around ^^ We went to have lunch at the Divercity food court afterwards, and to enjoy the air conditioning indoors ^^;

After lunch, we went to check out an Onsen Monotagari with bluestarbaby, had some interesting experiences lol! Most of my photos were taken on my phone tho, so may not have much to show ^^; I really enjoyed the footbaths haha!

Busy busy!

But totally trying to soak it up as much as possible :D

Train emptied some point in time as people make a transfer :)

Nyan! Think this guy is the alpha kitty XD Saw him (?) trying to bully other cats the evening before :P

Went out to run an errand :)

The past few days had been grey, cold, rainy and gloomy, so during errands today it felt so rewarding to have even a little break of blue sky :D These trees were near a school, and I was crazy enough to climb up a rope structure (as high as I can manage) with my camera dangling on one hand ^^;

This tree is possible one of the bigger ones we have seen so far I think? Too bad we missed it’s prime.

Back on the ground :P That was scary LOL if I had both hands free, it would be a lot easier lol I was climbing with one hand and a few fingers :P

Recently acquired a fiddly and nifty little toy :P a fish eye lens attachment for my iphone :P Too bad it’s currently sold out where we got it ^^;

Really like the effect it creates :D

But, when the trees sheds petals they look really pretty too, it’s just difficult to capture the magic on camera. :)

From here onwards it’s a different tree :3 more fluffy ^o^ Too bad I accidentally dirtied the lens :P so some photos are partly smudged ^^;

Thanks for looking :D!

Felt really lucky to be able to enjoy this scene on such gorgeous weather!

Summer type weather in Vancouver is very different compared to Asia type “summer”… it’s a lot cooler in temperature, and not as humid.

Thanks for looking! My husband has some spring blossom photos on his blog as well :D I’ve also brought a doll along with me for photos, so I don’t regret not doing so later ;D

It was a perfect afternoon for a ride, it was cold but not freezing. So glad to have Strida Mini as I was able to go a bit further than if I was just walking and managed to take some photos with my doll, Aki which I am quite happy with :)

A couple instagram photos:

Spring is definitely here, the plum blossoms are blooming, quite slowly, possibly due to the weather — they tend to become fluffier with a bit more sun. It had been rather cloudy and windy the past week…

The leaves are already forcing their way out ^^; I was able to take some pictures of these lovely pink plum blossoms thanks to Jade ^o^/

Still plenty of little buds unopened, can’t wait for all of them to bloom! :D

It was a bit cloudy then, but the pinks of the delicate petals seem to pop despite the grey feeling behind :)

This is one of the things I most look forward to every year!

Some day we have to visit Japan at the actual hanami season :P

The trees in Japan are way bigger and a lot more magnificent and impressive :) But I look forward to the time when the trees locally grow bigger as well!

The daffodils are blooming too :3

Thanks for looking!

Drew a fan art of Senkaku Mei/Senmei, the adorable Mascot of Anime Revolution ^o^/ Got tickets to attend this year :3 Looking forward to check out the cosplayers and see what’s in store! Last year I managed to go one of the days, and some of my friends had a Yoyo Tsuri booth ^o^/

I drew a fan art of Senmei before last year too! :3

Really like to see Mascots “grow up” online XD

1 and a half rainbow! :D

Moar cheeky Chickadees :3
