Wow, it’s been a weird week of weather (or two weeks now) where pretty much the whole lower mainland has been foggy (think thick like pea soup) morning and evening. The following picture was passed on from someone from someone from email spam. Super-cool. This is apparently a view of Downtown Vancouver from Cypress Mountain …
Another weekend almost over, another couple of days of vegging and relaxing done. Sadly not much was actually accomplished this weekend. I did get my new camera a few days ago (had to get it from B&H in New York as it’s impossible to get in the lower mainland. The plan with this camera is …

A couple of shots from a couple of years ago that I found and felt worthy of posting.
Wandered up to North Van yesterday and Oneiros took me to the Capilano Fish Farm, just down from the suspension bridge (and free). Took a few pics which I present to you here. More after the click. Looking upriver toward the dam.
A week or so ago we went out to the Vancouver Aquarium and met up with some friends, and had a nice day wandering around and looking at fishes. Below are some of the results photographically. Clicky-clicky for higher res versions. Snake from the tropical section. More after you click….
