sunny city view

Hope everyone had a lovely mother's day weekend! The weather here was spectacular... note "was"... it is a bit cloudy now, so I am living in the past today, to make this Monday morning easier. Here is a photo of Vancouver from the top of the hill in Queen Elizabeth Park we snapped... lush flowers, blue sky, warm breeze... oh, I am missing the weekend already.

It's the last few days before Labour Day, which always feels to me like the end of summer... sigh (insert dreamy flashback of all my summer moments here). Is it just me, or did this summer just fly by? Anyhoo, feels like a perfect day to enjoy some of the summer blooms before they all start to slowly wilt away. These were taken this past week at Queen Elizabeth Park. I always get the urge to pick per-ty flowers when I see bunches of them together (don't worry, I actually didn't), but was just as happy to snap some pics instead. Hope everyone has a happy long weekend!
