Raining again, thankfully

We did not want to leave the house this morning in the rain but I’m glad that it is. I always worry about the summer when we don’t get rain in the winter. I don’t like the forest fires and the smog and the heat.

 

But I love Vancouver in February.

You don’t see that back east this time of year!

And a good reminder that we are okay, even when we are not okay.

Probably a Hawk?

After I dropped off kid at school this morning I heard some crows freaking out and looked up. The crows were harassing what I think is a red tailed hawk.

Excuse the cruddy zoomed in Iphone photos, she was a good 50 feet up at the top of a tree. Just not bothered at all by the crows, she flew away when a seagull got in on the action, but didn’t go far and didn’t seem bothered by the other birds following her.

 

Can we also talk about how beautiful and clear it was this morning? After the deluge last night, the mountains looked so beautiful this morning.

 

Are we there yet?

Making New Year’s resolutions never works, or so I’m told. But I did promise my kid I’d spend more time with her and part of that is walking to school in the mornings. Thank the gods the sun is coming back and it is no longer “night” time when we leave for school. It was very very chilly this morning though the sky was beautiful and clear.

Honestly my favourite colour palette is “Winter in Vancouver.” Usually there is more grey though!
