I had to make a trip downtown on Wednesday. My destination was the Eye Clinic at St. Paul's Hospital in downtown Vancouver. It was my first time to the clinic and the first time I've been downtown for quite some time.
I managed to snap a few photos of the sky and some reflections which I share in this post. Unfortunately I was running a bit late for my appointment so I didn't get as many photos as I wanted.
It got a bit windy before I left the house and a bit cloudy. I thought it was going to rain but it turned out to be a rather warm day; nothing too unbearable and certainly a lot better than I was expecting.
We've just come through a long weekend. It is always a long weekend on the last Monday before May 25th in Canada and is called Victoria Day, honouring Queen Victoria's birthday. It also marks the unofficial beginning of our summer season when camping enthusiasts begin their camping season in the many camps and parks. In my area (Vancouver/Lower Mainland) it usually rains on this long weekend. Though rain was predicted and heavy clouds gathered, it actually didn't rain. Quelle surprise (what a surprise), lol.
Enjoy!
What? No rain? What did anyone have to complain about?
ReplyDeleteLove your photos.
Hugs, K

Hi Joyful! That first photo is so striking with the reflection of the other building in it. The last one impresses me with the colors of blue. And you were in a hurry? These are great!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend in Memorial Day in America, and the beginning of the summer too. We honor all those who died defending our country. I'm ready for some good weather :)
Have a fun weekend!

Beautiful! Pictures I would take; we have very similar points of view. I love reflective buildings and what is reflected in them. You had the bonus of a beautiful sky.

Hi Joyful, Always enjoy your sky photos. These with the skyscrapers make me feel right at home ... as you will know, I'm just down here in Seattle. Well, our Spring is getting off to a good start, how about you? Vancouver is one of my favorite cities, and, yes, I do think it is even more beautiful there than the Emerald City. :-) Don't tell my Chamber of Commerce I said that! Thank you for your kind comments on my little blog. I wonder if you have a park near your home like the Dahlia Garden at Volunteer Park? Have a good weekend. John
