Ron McLean Park, Burnaby

Another sunny Sunday. We're speculating that winter is outta here. [jinx?!?]
It's a lovely park as a lot of city parks are with trails that run off into the forest that hugs it.
Stopped for coffee again at La Foret in Burnaby and then came home.
It was a lovely day.

Fit like puzzle pieces.

Drones are surprisingly loud.

Did they run out of fencing?

Deer Lake & Christine Sinclair Community Centre

A half cloud/half sun sort of day. Can't really complain, except for how nippy it was out there first thing in the morning. Thank goodness it warmed up - we usually take the roof off and hope for the best.

Took a break from the Quay - that'll probably be another 2 or 3 instalments. Hopefully the next time we venture out it's blue skies and sunshine as far as the eye can see. Although, a gloomy, rainy, cloudy day would show the quay in a different light.  In a different mood.

As for today, the pics at Deer Lake in Burnaby were troublesome because of the lighting conditions but I got a few worth archiving (here). And the images at/around the Christine Sinclair community centre gave me the same exposure/lighting challenge. I need to work on that!

I caught these random shots on today's drive-n-coffee outing:

A lake in the middle of the city.

Challenging gravity.

Great excuse when you don't want to help friends move.

Samoyed; sometimes referred to as a 'Land Cloud'.

Deer Creek running.

Her name is Ripley and she's a beautiful old gal.

Do they have signage for when it really floods?

A section of New Westminster Quay (two)

This morning's weather is why I have no regrets moving to the west coast. Sun. Ginormous puffy white clouds. A gentle breeze, tranquil river current, birds singing. And happy, smiling faces all along the boardwalk. If you're in market for a dog and you not quite sure which breed you'd like - come down to the quay and check out the assortment of dogs there. Like proud parents, their humans will love you if you stop and admire their four-footed child/children.

We covered another section of the New Westminster Quay riverfront - this time as far as the River Market where we stopped for coffee before covering a little bit more of the boardwalk to the new little park nestled in between the two new towering Bosa skyscraper highrise condos right down on the water overlooking the river at 750 Quayside Drive. The larger of the two building has 53 floors, the other has 43 floors. I get dizzy imagining what the views must be life from the upper floors!
