A summer sun dog shines down on the Howe Sound mountains north of Vancouver.
A textbook demonstration of how the high wispy cirrus clouds (shown in the photo) are at just the right temperature to create the perfectly formed ice crystals needed to create such a beautiful atmospheric phenomena.
Yaletown Vancouver.
Close moons give rise to high tides. Sailors take note.
Four Yaletown condo towers chat about the weather and the royal baby.
Yawn.
Caption 1: A convenient lens flair points out three of Kitsilano's more popular summer destinations. Clockwise from the left - the H. R. MacMillan Space Centre, the Vancouver Maritime Museum (right) and the Bard on the Beach Shakespearean festival (bottom).
Caption 2: An Alderian interstellar battle cruiser fires its photon weapon narrowly misses three of Vancouver's more popular summer destinations. Thank goodness Alderian's are not known for their accuracy.
Caption 2 sounds more exciting in a Hollywood sort of way.
Vancouver's iconic Burrard Street Bridge show's off it's 1930's roots and 21st century seismic upgrades (Pacific ocean ring of fire and all that) in the Saturday morning summer sunshine.
Saturday morning at the corner of Hornby and Davie Streets in Vancouver's Yaletown urban megalopolis.
As the concrete cures in the morning sunshine the Artemisa, which I'm quite certain will quickly become an oft-photographed landmark building in Vancouver's Yaletown region, begins to take shape. Located on what will be the relatively quiet south corner of Hornby and Helmcken the building, even in this raw form is already looking quite stylish.
Sheba lays claim to the cat tree and gets her fluffy on in the evening summer sunshine.
With the arrival of the Honda Celebration of Light fireworks barge, shown here in mid-assembly high summer in Vancouver begins. Woot!

I'll be Bach.
Stanley Park in Vancouver Canada's West End simmers in the west coast summer sunshine.
Is it 4:20 yet?
Vancouver's West End looms large onto Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon.
At the corner of West Georgia and Lost Lagoon sits the coolest building, in my humble opinion, in the city. It has its own vertical lift garage.
How can you possibly get cooler than that?
High contrast herons.
A family of Pacific Great Herons hang out in Lost Lagoon doing their best to look like the coolest birds on the rocks because ... well ... they are.
Swans are so last century.
The gigantic ferns at the western edge of Lost Lagoon in downtown Vancouver's Stanley Park glow in summer's infra red light.
Greetings. I come in peace.
Now be a nice human and fetch me a treat.
Looking north along Thurlow Street in Vancouver's West End.
Summer rocks. Especially Saturday Summers.

Background and foreground in mellow agreement.
Meanwhile, 44' away the companion sun dog decides that now would be a good time to show off.
What ever.

Atmospheric phenomena can seem, ... sigh ... so entitled.

The hundreds of local ducks are anything but amused.

AM, Lost Lagoon, Stanley Park Vancouver.
On the English Bay aka West side of Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park Vancouver is a fantastic collection of flowering plants, succulents, ferns, etc.
Macro-photography nirvana with morning providing the best light.
