Have you ever made friends with a horse? This lovely fellow remained interested in my company even without my having had the foresight to bring an apple or some carrots to the stable. Instead, a few slow strokes to the forehead were welcomed, as seen here on his gentle face.

Another unedited look at Vancouver’s beautiful and snowy West End this Wednesday

Today’s exercise in alliteration: a sailboat in sunny pre-sunset waters off the shores of a snow-covered Sunset (yes) Beach. This is Vancouver. Shot is edit-free; this is #nature.

... and now, another kind of floral arrangement. This one’s courtesy of the distinctly un-Vancouverlike snow we’ve received.

So my evite must have gone astray, haha, but whomever coordinated details for the Justin Timberlake concert vip pre-party has exquisite taste. Lovely cascades of colour in these arrangements by @queenbeeflowershop .

Yes, there’s snow on the beach, but look at the late afternoon light and reflections in Vancouver’s West End today

Love is in the air at @queenbeeflowershop, where I always enjoy the scents and beauty of Rosemin’s arrangements.

More from my time in Newfoundland, where I had the opportunity to take part in the annual puffin patrol and release by Witless Bay. To learn more about what @cpawsnl does, see

Seeing a pic tweeted by @carlbovis reminded me of how much I enjoyed seeing puffins in Newfoundland a couple of summers ago. Here, some shots near Witless Bay, which I visited with @obrienstours.

Would you (could you?) live in this geometric highrise without feeling dizzy? A few shots ... I’ve been enjoying watching Vancouver House, a 520’ tall twisting tower, go up - and perhaps it will be less dizzying inside what’s been described as a giant curtain being pulled back than from ground level. It’s certainly a striking addition to the skyline, and the design reflects site challenges.
