Kind of lovely. Sung by Thao.

Trees Inside Out

Love these pieces by artist Judith Belzer. All of her work is inspired by the textures and colours of nature, making all of her pieces naturally beautiful. :) The pieces below are from her collection called "Trees Inside Out" which can be found here.

Looking Into the Past

Here is a really interesting collection of photos called "Looking Into the Past". The photographer is named Jason Powell, and his Flickr photo steam can be found here. What a fantastic idea! There are a number of places in my hometown that would be perfect for a photo like this. Cities can change very quickly, and most of the time we don't even notice.

A French Story

A very cute French story created by Google. Boy, do I want to go to Paris!

Winter Clothes

Love these winter looks by Filippa K. Can't wait until the snow finally arrives! That means hot chocolate, skating, snowmen and lots of layers to keep warm.

Gregory Pepper and His Talents

       In all honesty, though I like discovering new bands, I find that opening acts at concerts tend to put me to sleep; but while attending an Islands concert last night, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself not wanting the band, Gregory Pepper and His Problems, to finish up.  This band seems to have eclectic sources of inspiration, from Vaudeville and disco, to polka. They remind me a bit of the Unicorns with more theatrics. Head over to their myspace (click here), have a listen, and don't leave until you've listened to 7ths and 3rds.

On another note, Gregory Pepper is an illustrator and printmaker, the following are examples of his work... 

Beautiful Bikes

To continue with the last biking related post - here are a few beautiful bicycles that would look good no matter where you are riding them. My co-blogger and I both own CCM Galaxies and love them, but I would be just as happy with one of these to ride around town. The dashing red one is from Linus Bike and the colourful one is from Urban Outfitters Bike Shop.

Beautiful Bike Seats

If it is not apparent in our name, my co-blogger and I really love bicycles. There is nothing better than a sunny day riding along the trails by lake Ontario. Both of our bikes are very old, so there is always something that can be done to fix them up a bit. These gorgeous leather bike seats from leather artist, kara ginther are on my wishlist!
