Kuro's winter coat

With a lot less hair, she's in need of something warmer when it gets colder.
Thanking Grant and David for this ;-)

Kuro meets Eorna

A chance meeting while I was at a coffee shop

Kuro's new look


Already two weeks since I took the clippers to Kuro again.
Taken from my cell-cam,
hence the 'special' effect.

Kuro skunked!

It wasn't this critter, though skunks are everywhere at night.
The baby skunks seem to come out of nowhere and don't take notice of humans
until they are so close they startle themselves.
Many, many thanks to Grant & David for cleaning up Kuro after
she was sprayed the other night. Kuro's fine, of course.

Oh, so valuable!

Comic strip on the dog poop baggies box in my lobby.
If only everybody with a dog thought so!
The caption reads:
Of course it's valuable!
Why do you think they always pick it up?!

One side of the MV Colourful I

On a cruise out into English Bay on a warm, sunny afternoon.
The "MV Colourful I" was built in the 1920s and plied Germany's waterways
as a river barge before being cut into 3 sections and shipped to Canada.

Robson Square Rooftop Garden Reopened!

One of my favourite green spaces in the heart of Vancouver.
This incredibly lush spot is full of wonderful surprises at every turn and level.
