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.

Honey and Lemon Tea

My baby. A 1991Suzuki Sidekick a.k.a. "Ripley"

Submerged

Fertile stem of a Common Horsetail

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

The state of a nation

A section of New Westminster Quay (three)

We continue the progress along the New Westminster Quay boardwalk on a Monday instead of our regular Sunday to see if the crowds would be better. Couldn't really see a difference. This boardwalk is used enthusiastically seven days a week.

Some shots from the day:

Oh, I bought myself a rice cooker.

Dad on a break. Mom was around the corner sitting on the kids.

What cryptids hunker down under wooden train trestles.

Chair with a view you don't want to leave.

Shadow of lights.
