Near the middle of Stanley Park in Vancouver you'll find Beaver Lake. Earlier this spring a beaver did take up residence in the lake but was nowhere to be seen today. Instead the lake was covered in thousands of blooming lilies. A color explosion and me with a converted black and white only camera. Ack.

Fortunately this is the digital age and while my photo colorization skills can't compete (yet) with a 5 year old I am learning. Time to channel my earlier crayon and coloring book self or get some tips from my 6 year old niece Elise.
