Reflections...
Have you ever had the feeling of walking inside a painting? Well, that was exactly what happened to us as we walked around the Van Dusen botanical garden last weekend... Awesome feeling!!!

Pampas Grass
Yesterday was a spectacular fall day in Vancouver. One could witness not only fine fall colours, but also Pampas grass and Araucaria trees at Van Dusen botanical gardens.

Hart Restaurant's secret garden...
A very neat restaurant with a long history by Deer Lake Park. The Hart Restaurant has a neat secret garden, too.
It was really nice to be able to see the Chef picking his own herbs from that secret garden...

Rainy day at the beach...
With fall here, it's a good time to enjoy the beach in solitude. Don't let a little rain put you off... Umbrella is optional!

Hard to say good bye...
It's hard to say good bye to all these summer images... so much colour, flowers and beautiful skies, and brides all over the city... I guess we have to get used to the pumpkins for now!

Umbrellas of Vancouver...
Everything is starting to look like fall around here... even the flowers are looking like umbrellas. So, we better get ready for the rain! Enjoy the fall!

Let's hope the fine architectural details of the Marine Building in Vancouver never become hidden in a sea of newer buildings...

Farewell, Dean...
Thank you, Dean, for all the light you brought to so many people's lives through your cheerful and positive nature and such skillful craftsmanship. You will be sorely missed. Your light was extinguished far too soon...

The death of a hard working giant...
These were the last days of the Blue Bridge, a steel box girder bridge, that spanned the Capilano River at Marine Drive. Built in 1929, and opened by the then Premier Simon Fraser Tolmie. It was an important link and a visual greeting that you were entering into West Vancouver.

Looking for something fun to do today?
Why not going to the night market at the Shipbuilders' Square in Lower Lonsdale! You will feel like a kid again... Lots of fun, crafts, good food, lots of treats (very good chocolate!!!), and most important: live music on stage... Very talented musicians! What else can you ask for?

Miniature Train at Confederation Park, Burnaby...
This photo was taken at the Burnaby Central Railway. They have an amazing collection of different period locomotives that they have built themselves. Make sure you go with your family and enjoy the ride. You can also book for birthday parties and other events. Have fun!

Balancing act...
Every Sunday, if you walk by the sea wall at English Bay, you will see this delicate balancing act. It looks like a garden... a rock garden... all balanced... no glue...
See it yourself! You'll be amazed!
