One of life’s great joys, solitude and a good book in the afternoon sunshine.
These six beautiful fallen maple leaves that featured in my post to celebrate the first day of Fall last September have such a different meaning today. With a breaking heart I send condolences and sympathy to the six families who lost their loved ones in the terrorist attack in Quebec City last night and to those recovering in hospital I wish a full and speedy recovery.
What could be more meaningful on a day like today than the grace and beauty of
the magnificent dancers of The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.
“Ambience has the power to uplift your mood,” writes Jeff Golenski in his introduction to this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge.
On a clear, crisp Saturday yesterday, this was a rare site in Vancouver’s Vanier Park, which definitely uplifted our mood as we walked by in the afternoon sunshine.

“The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”
from Ode to the West Wind
Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1820
These hoarfrost covered leaves, resilient in our winter wonderland,
will soon be freed to welcome spring.

A magical morning walk today as the sun came up over False Creek and Granville Island.
Wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
No bridgegate here.
