It’s a grey, grim day on the Burrard Inlet, but the North Van sulphur heap will have none of it.

Evenly spaced pilings standing near riverbank, South Arm of Fraser River. Grey sky and water, a red-berried shrub in the right foreground.

My love is far away with a typhoon a day away as I’m scrubbing a pot so when she’s back she won’t see I burned the stew because I was online worrying over the path of the storm.

Everything is fine.

Team of 4 rowers, their coach in a small boat with an outboard motor, working things out on the Middle Arm of the Fraser River, No. 2 Rd Bridge and Vancouver’s North Shore mountains in the background.

No tsunami, thank you.
(Though here on the sheltered side of Vancouver Island, a big wave would be unlikely as I understand it.)

I look forward to this weather. When you’re surrounded by mountains it’s nice to actually see them πŸ™‚

Snow-capped Mt. Baker in northern WA, as seen from green farmland 100Km/60mi away in Delta BC, appears to be floating in a cloudless blue sky.

Roadside post almost dead-centre in front of Mt. Baker.

The inevitable result of taking a picture of a distant mountain from a moving vehicle.

Yes. Lots of light precipitation, then clearing in the afternoonβ€”except today.

Yes, I think so. A mature one that was already a good size when we moved here 20 years ago.

Shrubs, trees, gardens here are as lush as I’ve ever seen. Trees from the East Asian collection at Garden City Park: Davidia (dove tree, handkerchief tree), dawn redwood, Chinese tulip tree. And the rhodos are bonkers.
