City-Busy

15 May 2018 – I’m busy returning library books and, all around me, this little wedge of city is busy being itself. It bubbles in every direction.

Poppies pop …

Colours pop …

A hydro pole struts the alley …

Motorcycles gleam …

A doorway dispenses wisdom …

Pedestrians time-out their walk along False Creek …

Junior dragon-boaters time-out their heats in a day of competitive racing …

A wedding couple poses …

And Tess turns 25.

I read the banner, grin, and carry on home with my new crop of library books.

    Isn’t it amazing how much you’re able to take in on one walk? I’m always amazed at how much I can find. Looks like a lovely place. 🙂

    Every season has its advantages for walking but the bright new colors at this time of year are really energizing. Fun to be transported back to your slice of Canada – even if just for a moment.
