Miniature Boats at Burnaby's Central Park

Sunday. Sunny. Breezey. Perfect outdoor weather. Today we headed over to Burnaby's Central Park. 

Info dump: Central Park, founded in 1891, is a 90-hectare urban park in Burnaby, British Columbia. The park is on the Vancouver–Burnaby border, just west of the Metropolis/Metrotown Complex.

There are two (man-made) lakes/ponds (and a stream) in the park. We only visited the Lower Pond today. Saving the Upper Pond for another time.

Some shots:



















These adorable seniors were singing looking over the pond

Around New Westminster

Another gorgeous hot sunny Sunday. Stayed right in our own neighbourhood today.  There's always plenty to see right in our own backyard if we take the time to look around.

Some images of here, there and everywhere.

Spring drive along River Road

A BEAUTIFUL spring day. We can't believe it's still only spring. It got up to 20°C here today.

The sun was dolling out healing light and the sky was a marvel-inducing blue.

We needed to see water today so we drove an old favourite - the well worn River Road along the Fraser River from New West out to Richmond and back. A spiritual day.

Some pictures along the road and some random stuff.

A crow accepted my offering of stale crackers

Log booms as far as the eye can see

The road's surface is crumbling away

Make a wish














They crackle and buzz . . . LOUDLY
