I went to town on Friday. I had some business to take care of right in the heart of the city. Afterward, I walked through town all the way to Chinatown and took some photos along the way.
Each year I plant pansies. I think they are a happy and hardy plant. I haven't planted any yet but I saw these cute little pansies downtown.
I always like the 'lacy' effect of the bare branches against the sky.
The iconic Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
The stained glass steeple caught my eye
A front view of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
The Vancouver Art Galley through the trees
The Holy Rosary Cathedral downtown
View to the North Shore mountains. It snowed overnight.
The Salvation Army Shelter downtown.
I was on my way to see the film "A Complete Unknown", a movie about Bob Dylan. It did not disappoint.
One of my recent reads. This book is set over 3 days in a Dublin maternity/fever hospital ward during the 1918 Flu Pandemic. It's a very graphic book and quite gripping. I recommend it.
As always, I enjoy a bit of quiet time knitting these simple dishcloths. The top one was made with 'good' cotton yarn. The bottom one was made with inexpensive cotton/polyester yarn purchased at the dollar store.
I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. Thanks for visiting.
Welcome to another Skywatch post where I watch the skies over Vancouver, Canada. We are currently still in winter season but moving toward the spring. I can't wait. But in the meantime we are still getting a lot of rain. In fact this past weekend we had what they call an atmospheric river.
When I went out to do errands on Saturday night, I walked a bit and rode the public transit a bit. I didn't think it was that wet but I got soaked through my winter puffer coat and my puffer vest. Luckily the rain didn't reach my top but I looked like wet rat, lol.
The photos I'm sharing were taken on Sunday late afternoon. It was rather cloudy but cleared up a bit because we're supposed to have a drier Monday before the rain returns.
It cleared up considerably and the sun reflected off the windows in the distance.
Thank you for stopping by my posting for Skywatch Friday this week.
