Summer

Author: Jared

Ah, summer has finally hit Vancouver

Admittedly it is about a month late, but summer does tend to linger a while here. Well, in my mind at least I’ll keep on trying to wear shorts till December, but usually crack in about November or so and go back to jeans.

Anyway, here’s the current 7 day forecast, care of the local version of BOM:

When Vancouver hits this sort of swing you know that summer will be around for a while. Reliable blue sky days, temps close to 30 degrees, and the city just loves it!

We walked home from the skytrain along the seawall from the Yaletown station to our place near GM place and I think half the city was out on their bikes enjoying a trundle along in the sun, while the other half had decided that a picnic on the grass was a good idea. Not that it was crowded of course, there is more than enough seawall to go around.

Here’s a brief happy snap from the walk home, with Science World in the baground and the Athletes Village on the right:

Oh, and you know what made my day the other day? We were walking along the seawall to the left of the above shot, right in the heart of the city, and what did we see on the dock, fooling around and cleaning itself?

Okay, I tried to zoom in a little, but my phone only has a small lens…

Okay, it was a sea otter! One of the coolest animals known to man! They are absolute characters, and this one was fooling about, rolling around and having a grand old time. I was kinda excited… Shame we didn’t have the real camera though.
