Kids on Parade

There's always lots of kids in the Victoria Day Parade here, most of them marching or riding on or in some kind of vehicle. Marching the length of the parade is an achievement, but I've got to salute these kids who do it with cartwheels and handsprings all the way. The boy in the center doesn't even have gloves on - I bet his hands were sore by the end of the parade.

Made ME laugh

The kid wearing this "costume" in the Victoria Day parade was really dancing along in such a carefree fashion I had to laugh. My hat's off to you, kid!

A Trip to Vancouver

I am fasinated by architecture and so a walk through downtown Vancouver was almost more than I could take in. It's a much bigger city than Victoria and there are many examples of sleek new buildings but also older buildings mixed right in. It has a gritty big city feel that our little town doesn't.

Architecture in Black and White

Fern posted an interesting photo last week and since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, here is my take on another important downtown building. I will leave it to Fern or any other Victoriaphile to identify the building. (C'mon - you've all seen it!)

Victoria Day Parade 3 - Wheels

Lots of different kinds of wheeled vehicles in the parade. And though I neglected to get a photo, I was pleasantly surprised by the large number and variety of electric vehicles in this parade. People are becoming enthusiastic about these and manufacturers are finally waking up to this. Below, it was nice to see a little girl riding one of these muscular little dirt bikes.
