Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
Welcome to beautiful Vancouver, BC!
It continues to rain and be quite cool here but every now and then we have a break in the sky and the weather. I haven't been out for a specific time of capturing cherry blossoms due to the inclement weather and being otherwise busy. But I've been fortunate to get some decent photos on some of my errand days. I hope you enjoy them.
I'm also adding a few photos from a rainy day.
I've also been enjoying some reading. Some of the recent books of note include the following:
A fictional account, based on facts, of a governess to the late Queen and her sister Margaret. |
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
I hope you've all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. Where I live we've had some beautiful, sunny days and some not so spectacular days. After a glorious sunny day yesterday it was back to rain today and actually quite chilly. It should turn back to sunshine soon. I can't wait until it warms up a touch. I don't like it too warm just enough to keep my bones from getting a chill.
The first photo is taken in my patio garden. I haven't done any work to prepare it this year and I won't be doing any. Everything will be ripped up and out by June or July as the patio gardens in the entire building need redoing. It's a job and a half and very expensive.
I've been preparing the community plot but some darn dog went and walked all over it damaging things in the process. I love dogs but not when they run rampant. I don't know why but they only ran over mine. I guess my plot is too close to the main pathways. Good thing I caught it. I will be keeping a close eye on things as I want the garden to grow a bit by May.
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend.

My how time flies. I wish it would slow down a bit but on the other hand, right now I'm waiting not so patiently for spring season to arrive because we've had a long, cold winter as far as Vancouver weather goes.
Today we had some glorious sunshine and it being Saturday and the end of spring break for students, everyone and his/her dog was out all over town. However, the good weather won't last long. In fact it will cloud over tonight so my brother and I went for a wonderful drive up the coast to enjoy the scenery. I hope you enjoy the photos.
Joining in with Skywatch Friday today (a day late). Have a wonderful week ahead.
I hope you are all well. Today I want to share photos I took on Wednesday. The day started off sunny and warmish. I went to the community plot in the late afternoon (first photo) and by the time I left it had turned cold.
Thank you for stopping by.I'm joining in with Skywatch Friday.
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
I keep thinking Spring is around the corner but my hopes keep getting dashed. We had an unexpected bit of snow on Wednesday night and on Saturday we are expecting up to a foot of fresh snow. Knowing that I went out tonight and did a few pressing errands.
Here are some of my night shots. There seemed to be a lot going on including an explosion that happened at the dinner hour just before I was about to get off one bus in the heart of the city. I heard a lot of sirens after that. Later I learned the sad news that 2 were treated for burns and lacerations due to the fire which they believe was caused by some kind of underground electrical vault fire. My bus had passed the site where the explosion occurred just seconds before hand and some passengers that got on the bus seconds later says there was smoke and balls of fire coming from the side of the building. Roads, buses and skytrain in the vicinity were all closed or affected in some way but I was on my way out of the city before that happened.
Here are some photos I took while I was downtown. I'm joining in with Skywatch Friday. Please join in too.
Hello friends and fellow bloggers, I hope you are all fine this beautiful day. These photos are from a walk to a small local park. Some tre...
