Below/Above

2 May 2022 — Warm-ish & sunny-ish, and a lot of activity around, on and above False Creek.

Here below:

a trainee dragon boat, its crew stroking as best they can to the call …

a veteran gull, conserving energy between sudden dives for food …

and the cyclical gully between Hinge Park and Habitat Island, opening anew each low tide.

While above us all:

a float plane, dominating the clouds …

and an eagle, even higher, dominating the airplane.

      yes, with Calgary in common… trying to find a non-public way to give you contact info, I found online what may be your landline phone number, and left a message at a number ending in …82. I hope that’s you! The recording sounded like it could well be A’s voice… love to you both
