Intersection of Hastings & Granville

I was in downtown Vancouver just over a week ago.

I took these fun shots of the city sky at the corner of Hastings & Granville Street.







A Blessed Easter weekend to you and your family.

No it's an observation deck at the top. Long ago, I think it was a restaurant. There is a similar building on Robson Street with a revolving restaurant at the top.

Great photos Joyful. I'm smiling because I see an answer to a question I had asked in another place. :-) I should have looked at the comments first!!!! :-) I really do like this part of Vancouver. The whole city is one of my favorites. I must get up there soon ... it has been too long since my last visit (last spring). A blessed Easter to you and your family. John

Under a Cloudy Sky

After some glorious sunny days, it started to rain again as is the norm in our Winter on the West Coast of Canada.  It rained quite heavily on Monday.  These photos were snapped earlier this week during a break from the rain. It was nice to see the bird's nest among the bare tree branches and the bird flying against a patch of blue sky. Joining in with Skywatch Friday and Saturday's Critters this week. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Ni Wewe Bwana (It is You Lord)

This is a lovely gospel song sung in Swahili and has special meaning for me. It is special because on my first trip to Kenya a group of orphans encircled me and sang this lovely song. It really touched me. No one translated the song for me at that time.  Though I could not speak Swahili I knew it was a worship song unto God. I tried to track the song down for a long time.  Every time I would ask a Kenyan friend, no one would know which song I was trying to recollect. I only knew the words "Ni wewe bwana" and decided to search on YouTube when I couldn't get any of my friends to help me find the song.  Guess what,  I found it! (Update: It has already been some years since I found it and had a Tanzanian friend translate it for  me.) The version I'm sharing is the same song but this one on the video is sung to a slightly faster beat.  It is sung by well known (now deceased) Tanzanian Gospel singer, Fanuel Sedekia. This song gives me joy and lifts me u
