Birding and Balling
If only life were so simple as to be happily entertained with solely birds and balls (...and biscuits).
Coated Horses
It's gotten so cold in Vancouver. The snow caps the mountains now. Even the horses are wearing coats.
This Graffiti Gets a Gold Star
On the whole, I don't condone graffiti except in cases like Benjamin Herson and Jeff Deck. However, the below form of graffiti is quite acceptable, friendly and welcoming by saying "Hello from California". It was written along a hiking trail in a wall formed by what's left of the 47 feet of snow that fell in Whistler last winter and will likely disappear over the course of the next few days as the snow melts.
Blush
The pink hue from a sunset lit up the receding snow atop these mountains. Reminds me of a cupcake topped with Betty Crocker pink frosting, albeit a meagre amount of icing sugary goodness in this case.
Razorback Mountain
This is one of the sights you'll take in between Merritt and Hope if you travel the Coquihalla Highway that connects the Interior to the Coast.
Climbing the Walls
I have trouble enough with recreational wall climbing, nevermind what would be rock climbing the real deal here. Don't leave the carabiner clips and chalk at home for this one.
Sugar-Topped
A fresh dusting of snow at the higher elevations made it look like somebody took a giant sifter and coated the mountain tops with icing sugar. Being stuck in traffic going north on 176th Street in Cloverdale has its advantages when you have a camera handy. For a time lapse look at this mountain range taken with my camera's video capabilities, check this out.
Geology 101
This rock cut-through along a Myra section of the Kettle Valley Railway in Kelowna reminded me of my kitchen countertop. Although this is shale I think, and not granite. I don't think two of the four people in this photo even noticed the rock around them since they were pretty busy trying to bundle up against the elements.
Mountain Majesty
During a jaunt across the Golden Ears Bridge with my bicycle I had a nice view of the mountain range on the north side. The sun trying to break through the clouds highlighted the snow-capped peaks. Even dreary days don't take away from the surrounding beauty here.
Burrard Inlet Looks Like Summer With a Bit of Winter, But It’s Spring
This picture strikes me as strange. There's snow-capped mountains in the background. Not a cloud in the sky. A sailboat in the foreground. Some people were outside on this day in shorts. Others had pants and jackets on. It's March, and it's beautiful.
