A little weather map sequence to explain the Pineapple Express meteorological phenomenon which is responsible for occasional torrential rains (and flooding) on the Pacific coast of North America.

Our local mountains within 30 minutes of downtown Vancouver are perfect for trying skiing/snowboarding and other winter sporting activities. Reasonable rates are offered for a family-friendly outing, minus the longer drive (2 hours north of Vancouver) to the more world-famous resort area of Whistler/Blackcomb.

So much to do in this wonderful state and this is just a short list!

My favorite city in my home state of Texas. Austin is a hip little city with a relaxed atmosphere but not too big for it's pants. It's a foodie, art and music haven in the beautiful hill country.

One of my fondest memories was strolling in the gardens of Paris with my boyfriend at the time during our first date in Paris. I'm having a wedding celebration next month in Paris and wanted to share my love for the hidden gems often overlooked - Parks :). I'm excited to discover more beautiful parks and squares as I get lost in this wondrous city.

This is just the upper portion of a wall mural I made for a Haagen Dazs store in Jackson, WY. The original map is 12 ft wide by 7 ft high!
