Nice Day If You're A Duck


We have a rule here in Vancouver. If, after several days of rain, someone says the phrase "Nice day ... If you're a Duck!!" and then laughs in that slightly deranged way us Wet-Coasters will do after days of rain we're allowed to punch them. Alternatively, if you're not violently inclined, we can reply "Ya know, city bi-laws allow me to punch you for saying that. However, since I'm in a good mood I gonna let it slide. ... This time."

Here's a slice of the Vancouver Seawall looking like something out of one of those Post Apocalypse movies. You know, the ones where the hero awakes and discovers that everyone on the planet, except him, a fabulous babe and hordes of zombies has vanished.

This view is of the section of the Seawall between Sunset Beach, which starts at the base of the Burrard Street Bridge, and English Bay Beach, which is where Denman, Davie and Beach Ave intersect.

Today was a great day for a walk along the Seawall in the rain with mostly just the die-hard walkers such as myself, the poo-people taking their dogs for a walk and a smattering of Japanese tourists.

Oh, .. and lots of ducks. :)
