vancouver, gastown

this is what i came up with today. a long stroll about chinatown, gastown, and downtown, and yaletown, and... well, just a lot of walking. i've shot those 'sails' before at canada place, so it may look like a retread, but it's fresh off the press. the light / balance has to be spot on, and tonight i waited until it was. my legs are a little sore, but i'm happy with these 2 shots... and seated, having a pop....

with the warm, sunny weather this afternoon, you could just feel this bud getting ready to burst into bloom

fragrance of flowers

OH NO, WALKER'S TAKIN' PICTURES OF FLOWERS AGAIN!
well, i had to.... it's been warm, and i think things are a little ahead this year. these are from stanley park, shot this afternoon. the winter Olympic city might be praying for snow, but i think anyone is happy to see flowers blooming.
