It's a new day

Red blooms in VancouverWell, turns out Vancouver will vote Liberal. Trudeaumania rules. At least for now. Good luck Pierre, um, Justin!

Not surprisingly, Bailey and I noticed a lot of red around, during our early morning walk.

Here’s a video taken near the river early this morning. The sun is up, but it was quite overcast at 6:45 am.

Parking for beginnersSo I ask you… can this guy on the right park or what? Might be a trifle over the line? heh

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Scanning the riverWell it’s Thanksgiving once again and I hope you all had a great time with family and turkey and hams and pumpkin pie! It was a rainy day here today and Bailey and I took a walk up toward Mitchell Island.

Bailey watching a bargeAlong the way there are several tug businesses, and Bailey was quite fascinated by the whole experience. There are lots of places where you can peek out on the river and inevitably something fun is happening.

Fall colorThere is a seawall that runs quite a ways along side the river, and we made it to where the river splits around Mitchell Island. I can see that the seawall carries on for quite a ways, so another day we’ll try to go further.

Where the river splitsBailey is quite funny about the camera. She does not like to have her picture taken. As soon as I turn the camera on her, she turns away. I take the camera away, she looks back. So getting a shot of her, is often times very tricky. Here we are at the base of Jellicoe street, and you can see the Knight Street bridge in the left background.

Running around

Bailey in the parkBailey has made a lot of new friends in the neighbourhood. There are tons of dogs, and most are pretty friendly.

Lots of people are using this park as an off leash area, although I’m not sure it is an off leash area. But, no one seems to complain, and all the dogs are well behaved.

Here is a video of Bailey chasing one of her new friends. I forgot I had my phone with me, but they had been chasing each other for quite some time.

Pretty funny stuff… she’s been having fun that’s for sure!
