It's been a mostly soggy spring for us here in Vancouver so when that great yellow ball of warmth and good feelings (something which most call 'the sun') appears we all get busy all at once. It's great to watch and be a part of and it's like I live in two cities - a wet one with perhaps 50,000 people in it and then a dry one with 2.3 million, all going for a walk or bike or cruise, all at once. Very cute. :)

Here's the view from one the observation balcony on the Burrard Street Bridge on a sunny and bustling Sunday May 6 2012. In the foreground is Vanier Park and the 'Bard on the Beach' summer home being assembled. In the background is English, the far western tip of West Van and the start of the Sunshine Coast.
