Holy Crap Thursday's | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

"stop and smell the roses" is legit.  have you ever smelled REAL roses. not the ones you get for b-day, or V-day of or even an anniversary from a flower shoppe but a REAL garden rose (why do i feel like this is s start of a robert munsch book?).

HOLY CRAP are you missing out and if you have you know what i'm talking about it might be the most beauitiful smelling flower on earth.  

i guess it has a phrase named after it for a reason! next time you are walking, trust me when i say STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES.

(i got these two beauties from my girls on mothers day, passed on from my neighbor)

lucky me.

Reality check | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

who's doing it right and who's doing it wrong. both of these images were taken while driving in the car, the first was taken in california and the second in st. lucia.

yes, i get it. population difference but please tell me you see how disturbing this is!

which meat would you rather eat?

reality check, time for organic, free range perhaps!? (not that even eat meat but these visuals makes me feel sick!)

Just a day | klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

we aww and ohh at the far away caribbean beaches, we can't help it, their so warm and blue.

the classic - we want what we can't have, i suppose.

but when we really step back, what would the travelers from these far away places say about our green, tide stretched out wonders, we have in surrey and ladner. would they be awe struck with how alive it is or the warmth of the wading puddles.  would they comb our dusty sand lined shores for things to smuggle in their suitcases?

does the smell of salt and seaweed make them crave fish and chips and do those large evergreens and mountains make them wish they could see the rain that produced that lushness in the winter?

would they be scared when the tide roars in at an inch per second, which still makes me feel uneasy btw.

i think they would.

i think our beaches are just as devine & perfect in our own canadian way.  

we pulled a seven hour day here at crescent beach today, i photographed a part of it and as i did i savored it's greatness, it's aliveness and it's super natural self. i too, stole  some "treasurers" to place on a shelve at home and my girls have played, combed and created all day long.

we smell like fisherman. we feel as tired as toddlers.

 it was just a day, here in our paradise.
