Lots of Weather We're Having, Eh?


Yesterday, we walked for almost 4 hours.


First, we covered most of Queen Elizabeth Park, including visiting the macaws and parrots perched among the exotic plants of the Bloedel Conservatory. We considered playing Pitch & Putt Golf, but at $11.75 per, plus a dollar for each club, plus balls and tees, this seemed an unnecessary extravagance.


Then, after enjoying a wonderful coffee and pastry outside at the Epicurean Deli, we went to Kits Beach and beyond to the rocks and sand and huge, gnarled driftwood below Point Grey Road.


In all, between both our tiny digital cameras, we snapped 80 photos. Too often, the bright and most welcome sunshine washed away faces.


Then, last night, at about 11 pm, a snowstorm hit.


What the devil?

You're kidding about the snow, right David?!? I'm flying home tomorrow and was sort of hoping for some warm weather. Now it sounds like I'll have to walk around my apt. in a parka!

As for the photos, there's likely a special mode that forces the flash on when the sun's behind you. This will generally compensate for the difference in light.

No, that's the point. It's just been so crazily unpredictable.

Today was cool and windy and sunny. And the flowers are all in bloom.
