I got a new Batis 85 few days ago to replace the XF56mm I sold earlier since the Zeiss Batis promotion was extended to the end of the month. I didn't really bring this lens our for any major shoot yet.
I just took it for a quick walk and this cat just kept following me. Maybe that is because my clothing has some smell from my cats. In comparison to my cats, he is pretty muscular as he has only a small belly. I played with him for almost 30mins before waving a good-bye...since he is near my home, I guess I will bump into him time to time :)
Location: Vancouver, BC
It was great to see that the river is nice and full of fish for the bears this year.
This one was taking his time deciding which fish that he would like as the fish jumped about and the turkey vultures eagerly awaited the leftovers. I have never seen as many turkey vultures in this area before - they were literally falling out of the trees as they watched, quite the sight to watch.

The Horse Drawn Tours and cherry blossoms in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: I was looking for some blossoms along Coal Harbour, but lots of the pink petals had fallen off already. I drove to Stanley Park after that and did find some pretty pink blossoms.
As I was wondered back to my car, I happened to see the horse and carriage (from the Horse Drawn Tours) coming around the corner which looked so pretty with the blossom backdrop.

Some information about Vancouver: Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Deadpool 1 & 2", "The X-Files", "The Good Doctor", "Colony", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supernatural", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big gondola that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.

I have been looking for something like this for a while - moss covered trees bordered by fallen red leaves along a stretch of quiet road in Squamish.
Bird in the tulip fields at Lakeland Flowers U-Pick Farm in Abbotsford near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: I hope you don't mind, but I will be sharing some photos from my tulip field trip the other day.
These tulips fields in Abbotsford had to skip a year last year due to floods, but they have been fully operational again this year. My friend and I really wanted to go see some tulip fields again this year and we choose to visit the Abbotsford Tulip Festival, there is one in Chilliwack as well. We decided to go back to the one in Abbotsford operated by Lakeland Flowers which we visited a couple of years ago as well. It was their first year opening the fields to the public at that time. They have such beautiful tulip fields with so many gorgeous varieties and amazing colours which is why we choose to visit this tulip festival! 🌷🌷🌷
While wandering through the tulip fields I noticed this little birdie sitting on a tulip. It stayed there long enough for me to zoom in and take a photo!

Some information about Lakeland Flowers:
Peter Warmerdam was born in 1927 in Sassenheim Netherlands. At the time, it was the home of the largest tulip bulb producing area in the world. In 1949, Peter arrived in Canada and worked at whatever jobs were available. His first job was working on a farm in Winnipeg. He moved to the West Coast in the early 1950’s spending some time in logging and eventually working full time in farming.
In 1974, Peter and his family purchased land in the Sumas Prairie Flats in Abbotsford where the farm currently stands. Peter chose the Sumas area because the sandy soil made harvesting bulbs easier and the steady winds kept foliar diseases at bay. The ownership in the business eventually transferred to his sons and he became fully retired from working on the farm at 87 years of age.
In its 47 years in Abbotsford, the farm has expanded from a small operation to a company of nearly 100 employees. Today, Peter’s son Nick owns and operates Lakeland Flowers which continues to grow millions of beautiful daffodils, tulips, peonies, and sunflowers each year.
The land they now farm once used to be known as Sumas Lake. From the Glacial Age, it sat in a basin cocooned between the Sumas and Vedder mountains. The 10 000 acre lake would triple in size each spring from water rushing in from the Chilliwack and Vedder River that fed into it. This would ruin crops and make transportation between Chilliwack and cities to the west impossible.
By the 1920’s, engineers drained the lake through the Sumas Lake Canal and into the Fraser River, effectively turning the lake into farmland. The soils from the lakebed are sandy to silty in composition and quite fertile, creating the area into an agricultural hub of the Fraser Valley.

Whistler Blackcomb is opening next week and I couldn't be more excited! The other day I decided to go for a hike above Emerald. We got some nice views but for the most part we saw a lot of clouds so I was lucky to get a decent shot.

A lone locomotive roams the flat lands in Delta, BC, close to Roberts Banks. The single SD40-2 is the switcher for Roberts Bank and is picking up a set of cars way in the distance. The conductor on the job kicks up dust in his truck as he drives down to the joint. Meanwhile a separate cloud of dust is formed as a crew taxis to the intermodal train on the left.
Image was taken from Iona Beach Regional Park in Richmond, BC.

This shot was inspired by that famous cherry blossom shot in Tokyo Skytree. I tried few spots at the Waterfront Station to get an angle similar to the photo I saw.
Have a wonderful week! :)
