On Saturday the weather gods were on our side. 3 of us went for a nice afternoon ride to White Rock for lunch.

Here is a pic outside the restaurant. Ours are the three on the left. There was a lot of bikes out on Saturday. It's so funny to watch everyone watching everyone checking out everyone's bikes.



Who is that masked man? It was a bit chilly...it is still February after all.



And our organizer for the day.


I arrived first so I was able to snap them coming in to the meeting place.

It was mild enough to not worry about heated gloves. My regular insulated bike gloves were adequate.

My insurance for my bike has expired so I won't be able to ride it until I get it insured again. I will do that at the time I go for new tires.

In the meantime, here are a few looks at Vancouver this week and a few weeks ago. We do occasionally get some clear sunny days in the winter. They are so spectacular they almost make you forget about the hundred ugly days before the one good day.

Down by the Port of Vancouver. You can see the trade and Convention Centre sails, the cruise ship dock, the heliport, the seabus,and the north shore mountains. This one was a few weeks ago.



Here is a helicopter just taking off from the heliport.


This is the seabus. It is part of the transit system. You board the bus from Waterfront station and it crosses the harbour to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. It's a very popular tourist thing to do as well as a commuter thing to do. They sail every 15 minutes in peak times.



Here we are from yesterday. I was at Kitsilano beach. In the summer Kits is littered with oiled, tanned and buff (an not so buff) bodies. There is also a very active beach volleyball organization.








If I knew how to stitch the pics I could make a panorama. My camera isn't wide angle enough to show the whole outline of the mountains.

This was from this past summer. It's a beach volleyball player. She has a wicked serve.

Two days ago it was a gloriously sunny day. It was mild enough to make you think that Spring was already here. We tend to forget that we have almost a month of winter left.

this is when we get to go... to Toronto.



That was in the area of Vancouver we call "the West End". It is near downtown, but close to English Bay and Stanley Park.

Who needs a groundhog shadow.....we have cherry trees.

Hey, I've been to those cruise ship docks. Once, anyway.

You have trees blossoming in February? Tell me that picture was from last year. Please?

Sorry....the tree pic was last week.

If it's any consolation...it snowed overnight. There is snow on the ground this morning. it will be gone by noon though...

West end was where I was apartment hunting when I thought I was moving there. Gah, such torture - I love that city.
