I see spring popping up everywhere even with this morning's light snowfall. That was a bit of a shocker but it certainly was cold enough and nothing phases me these days. Captured from Burnaby Heights and looking up to the crest of Capital Hill near the border of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ April 2, 2020 πΈπΈ
Massive rain clouds unloaded for hours over West Vancouver causing creeks to overflow and flooding homes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, it's pretty safe to say that winter will be over in 9 days. Looking down at the mouth of the Indian Arm while Boulder Island catches the sun, Deep Cove in North Vancouver gets a dump of snow. If you look close, you can see Quarry Rock between the two hydro towers. Hamber Island, Coome, Belcarra on the right. Captured last Monday from Burnaby Mountain, British Columbia, Canada ~ March 6, 2017

A throwback to the most amazing Aurora Borealis light show I've ever seen here in Vancouver. Pillars of light shot up into the night sky like laser beams over the north shore mountains. The lights of Cypress Mountain reflect off the clouds above and below onto the frigid waters of English Bay.

Yesterday's flurry of snow in the heart of historic Gastown! Pedestrians popped open their umbrellas and whipped out their cameras to record Vancouver's first significant snowfall in years. Gastown's iconic steam clock displays the time on four faces and announces the quarter hours with a whistle chime that plays the Westminster Quarters. A mistletoe hangs from a bright red bracket attached to the lamp post... with a small sign reading #VANKISS ~ Captured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ December 5, 2016 at 2:40pm βοΈ
Heavy winter and spring rains often bring down trees and undermine others to change the path of the creek after the falls.

Next up, Team Canada π¨π¦ (August 5) with the finale. Captured last night from the Point Grey Foreshore in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ August 2, 2017 π¨π¦
Last night's Geomagnetic Storm lit up the sky over Howe Sound and Squamish. It's been forever since I last photographed the Aurora Borealis so I played it safe and drove away from the city for the sure shot. The stars had finally aligned with the solar forecast and our local weather forecast. Southbound traffic was constant on the Sea to Sky Highway as I made my way north to Porteau Cove Marine Park. I arrived just after 9:30pm and it looked like I had missed the show. The light was fading away. After an hour or so, it gradually built back up and then BOOM as if someone flicked on the light switch. Photographers and spectators started clapping and cheering. That was a first. I caught this shot at the peak. Captured at Porteau Cove Provincial Park, Squamish-Lillooet D, 45 mins north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ October 11, 2021 π
Is this photo too dark? Curious.
It's way too dark on my phone.
An overnight dumping of snow coats the slopes of Mt. Seymour Provincial Park. A Seabus crosses Vancouver Harbour on it's way to the City of North Vancouver.

The Full Snow Moon rises from behind Eagle Mountain and high above Buntzen Bay on the Indian Arm. The setting sun paints the West End gold and reflects off English Bay. A beautiful day along the Seawall at the English Bay Bathhouse and Inukshuk. I think this is the first time since August 15, 2019 (6mo) that the sky has been clear enough to view the full moon. Captured this evening from the Point Grey Foreshore in Kitsilano, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ February 8, 2020 π

A last minute sunset colours the rain and overcast gold while painting a double rainbow across the sky. A sudden downpour clears the rain soaked boardwalk of Steveston Landing and Fisherman's Wharf. With the sun at my back, an umbrella over my head, looking east down the mighty Fraser River with Shady Island in the distance. Captured this evening in beautiful Steveston, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada ~ October 24, 2016
Flashback to last February when neon coloured snow flurries fell on the Granville Strip. This was a late Saturday night/Sunday morning when two blocks were closed to vehicle traffic by the VPD.

The @VancouverLookout and Crown Mountain catch the first rays of Sunday morning's sun.

It even provides the steam for the whistle on the Gastown Steam Clock! Captured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ December 3, 2017
The beginning of the "Full Wolf Moon" last night over the north shore mountains, when the sunset met blue hour to create this purple glow. At this moment, the moon was 99.6% illuminated and would reach 100% at 3:33am this morning. The "Jewel of Tokyo" (cargo ship) soaks it all in while anchored in English Bay in front of Stanley Park. Captured from Locarno Beach by the Jericho Pier in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ January 11, 2017
Last night's mind blowing Aurora Borealis produced a rare Proton Arc that stretched across the Vancouver sky from east to west and directly above me. It started as a single strand which unraveled and dissipated in the west. To my right, the Aurora Borealis danced and glowed over the north shore mountains. This was the most amazing thing I've ever seen, I couldn't stop swearing. I went to check the aurora forecast but my iPhone said there was "No SIM card installed" so I couldn't access my cell data. Freaky. I thought maybe the solar storm was the culprit because it still wouldn't respond after rebooting. Looking northwest over English Bay, Strait of Georgia, Bowen Island, Sunshine Coast towards Courtenay and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Shot in disbelief from shores of Spanish Banks West, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ May 7, 2016 π
Friday night's sunset illuminates the smoky sky with an eerie pink and orange glow.

Looking over the Aquatic Centre Ferry Dock, Sunset Beach, the Inuksuk at English Bay Beach, Stanley Park and Black Mountain in West Vancouver completely hidden by smoke. Captured from the Burrard Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ Friday, August 13, 2021π

A distorted Full Harvest Moon sets over a cargo ship floating on English Bay and soon disappears behind Vancouver Island. Do you think a full moon triggers strange behavior? Does it transform some humans into werewolves or vampires? Is there a football field on that ship? π Captured during this morning blue hour from the sandy shore of English Bay Beach, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ October 5, 2017 π
