Seagull Sea Berm - Sunset Beach Vancouver

Looking like a gigantic seagull made of rock a seaside berm protects Sunset Beach in Vancouver's West End from tidal erosion.

Spring Blossoms

Spring explodes in Vancouver's West End.

Burrard Street Bridge and False Creek Vancouver

Vancouver's Burrard Street Bridge, built during the height of the 1930s depression, acts as the entrance to False Creek. So named because rather than being a creek False Creek is a highly prized and thus highly priced (real estate wise) lagoon.

Frequented by weekend boaters, nightly party boats, urban ferries, dolphins, bay seals, and grey as well as killer whales.

Skinny dipping do-able (it's not polluted) but not recommended (killer whales).

The Salt condo tower at the south east corner of Drake and Hornby nears completion.  Started in August 2012 a new piece of architectural distinction gets ready for opening day.

1000 Beach Avenue - Vancouver

1000 Beach looms large in the late morning Pacific sunshine in Vancouver's West End neighborhood.

The Urban Jungle

Lenticular Cloud

A lenticular lovely hovers over Vancouver's North Shore mountains.

I'm lucky enough to see 6 of these a year. Each one prettier than the last.

Burrard and Pacific Streets Infra Red

The intersection of Burrard and Pacific streets in downtown Vancouver's West End neighborhood goes west-coast chaotic as the bridge is closed for repairs.

A New Urban Legend

Nearly complete the Artemisia signature residences located at the corner of Helmcken and Hornby in downtown Vancouver warm in the morning sun.

il Gardino / Narnia

The il Giardino restaurant in Vancouver's Yaletown community - gone but not forgotten and moving to a new location.

Urban Jungle

The Urban Jungle gets ready for the main event - spring.

Lacking a real winter Vancouver has a fall/spring phase that lasts from October to March.  Once April arrives however the real spring deal kicks into high gear.

Urban Eagles

A pair of bald eagles buzz Vancouver's West End.

Looking for stray micro-apartment-dogs no doubt. :)

Earth Light

The view from the moon must have been even more spectacular.

Cloudy afternoons over English Bay Vancouver bring with them no shortage of high contrast infra red moments.

Vancouver's West End, False Creek and the city's iconic Burrard Street Bridge warm in the late afternoon sun.

A shy sun peaks out behind a bank of low level rain clouds over English Bay Vancouver.

After a week of rain a high pressure systems arrives over English Bay ready to dry out a soggy Vancouver.

And there was much rejoicing.
