winter afternoon
At the mouth of the Capilano River at Ambleside Park, West Vancouver, 4:00 pm
Today seemed to be the first day this year without rain, though I haven't kept any notes on it. It's been incredibly wet, normal winter weather here in coastal British Columbia, and we just wear our rain gear and carry on. But a mild (8C, 46F) dry day is a treat with the sun out ever so briefly. We head out; first for a bit of browsing of the January sales in some shops until we feel too warm and stuffy indoors, then for a long seaside walk. The sun peeks out again to greet us before it disappears into the clouds again. Home again, pleasantly tired.

On a busy Monday morning, the first day of the new semester, I know I can take a break and drop by here and find something regal in its beauty and inspiring in its vision. Thanks as always for a beautiful moment.

Thanks Lucy!
Joe, love your simple understated comment, thanks!
Kate, thank for your lovely comment! Hope your first day went well and you have a great semester.
Joan, the view IS very calming and beautiful, a favourite walk. The walk was hard work, which my body needed.

Leslee, thank! The sun was short and sweet. That night and yesterday we had another rainstorm. Today was frosty and sunny - lovely!
