A shot of the Brunette River. Sure, some trees are still looking a tad skeletal, but there’s all kinds of green showing now. Spring! Yay.
That is all.

We got another decent dump of snow last night and everything looks fresh and pretty again. I neither have to drive in it nor shovel it, so I don’t mind snow too much these days.
In fact, I went for a walk all the way to Burnaby Lake this afternoon, to get some fresh (if chilly) air and a few pics. I actually saw one person jogging on the river trail. I mean, sure, you can do it, but this is why I got a treadmill. Another guy was riding a bike, but was cheating because he had an electric bike with those silly fat tires. There were a fair number of people out, especially for midday during the week. I assume a lot of people have time off between Christmas and New Year’s.
Here are some photos, all taken with my phone, since I didn’t feel like lugging my camera and accessories out across the frozen tundra. It’s too bad HDR wasn’t more common, the originals on my iPhone 12 look awesome where there’s some dramatic light to provide contrast, such as in the first pic below.
Specifically, from the corner of Cariboo Place and Cariboo Road. It’s all Cariboo there. I edited out a couple of errant power lines to preserve the illusion that this is way out in the woods and not in the middle of a large urban center (the intersection of the Cariboos is right behind me in the shot).
From the bridge on North Road:
Like the title says, taken using the wide angle camera on my iPhone 12 between The Rains:
I like that I live in an urban area of over 2 million people and yet in 15 minutes I can walk from my place and listen to the quiet burbling of the Brunette River. Well, quiet at the moment. In the winter it can get a bit animated.
