18 April 2024 – A bright, gusty day and, I swear, you can practically see the sun’s rays bounce around in the breeze.
So I play that game, as I walk my Cambie Loop around the east end of False Creek. I watch the bounce of the sun, as it…
- ripples across this disused West 1st Ave. workshop…
- triangulates Science World’s geodesic dome…
- transforms a boring building (L) into a darkly magic reflection (R)…
- warms the backs of a newbie dragon boat team, intent on their coach’s mid-stream lecture…
- sparkles a V-trail of diverging wakes, ferry eastbound but another dragon boat now veering west toward Cambie Bridge…
- rolls across the spring-tidied plots of John McBridge Community Garden, beside the bridge…
- and shoots silver into the sky from the fingers atop the Neighbourhood Energy Utility, also beside the bridge (where waste heat from sewers is recycled into heat & hot water for local use).
I drop down from the bridge and nod to the Community Garden on my way by. It’s a nod of fellow-feeling: my next stop is a garden centre.

/ 19 April 2024I always enjoy your take on what you see . . . and often, like today, it reminds me of how different the west is from central Canada – ie dragon boats already on the water (cold here still), community gardens (urban ones rare here), heat from waste (yes! why can’t we?) and other things I crave. Lucky you.

/ 22 April 2024All true! It’s also true that I am deeply imprinted by my many decades in Quebec & Ontario and I passionately love the wonders of each — landscape, cities, towns, cultures. Each region has its own voice & beauty (and darkness as well). So… luvky sll of us, to have eyes & feet & minds & engagement with our world…
