Anyone for Tennis?


We had an unusual snowfall - unusual for this late in February - a couple of days ago. Yesterday morning I looked out my living room window to this accidental (or maybe not?) giant game of tic tac toe on the tennis courts in Stanley Park.

Apres Ski


Although yesterday started out with fog, by mid-morning it was gone, and I did get the chance to head up to the top of Grouse Mountain, one of three local ski hills on the North Shore. There are two ways to get to the top: hiking the Grouse Grind (closed in the winter) or taking the Skyride, a cabled aerial tramway.

Foreground is a run called The Cut, middle ground is the Burrard Inlet, with freighters on the water, background is the city of Vancouver. Deep background, and mostly obscured by cloud, is part of the Cascade Mountain Range.
