Remember

No Coal Here

Take Back the Port Rally at the Fraser River quay.

Honorary

This is Molly. Although her farm is technically in Burnaby, I have designed her (and the farm, and all associated vegetable / animal / mineral parts) honorary New Westminster residents. Expect to see a lot more of them in months to come.

Quest

Finish line of the inaugural Quest New West.

Playtime

Reminder

Interesting how fake the text on that barrier looks, but I promise you that it's truly there.

Gated

View of the entrance to the westbound platform of the SkyTrain at New Westminster Station. I'm not a fan of the way the new fare gates are going to make flow of people into and out of stations less efficient. Outlying stations could be ok, but many of the downtown stations may not. Fortunately, we don't have the masses of people using them like some cities so it shouldn't be too bad, though in the future...

Iconic

Who's that tall fellow on the quay? Why, the world's largest tin soldier!

Trashed

Today was the New Westminster edition of the Shoreline Cleanup. This is just a small portion of what over 70 volunteers managed to gather from the edges of Annacis Channel in Queensborough. Not pictured are the car tire rims, oven and microwave!

Jigging

Metis jigging at Klahowya Village.

Soar

Hannah and Helen, Pacific White-Sided Dolphins, performing at Vancouver Aquarium. Both were rescued from fishing nets (they were entangled) and deemed unreleasable back into the wild.

Magnolia

Pigeon Gang

Nowhere is safe these days.

Little Fishie

Hayashi Sushi, Columbia Square.

Company, halt!

Random sighting of two soldiers walking in the park by the Museum of Vancouver.

Repose

Quiet moment on a sunny afternoon.
