Looking Out, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
I’m a week late with this… actually, over a week late. But, I have a good excuse. I was on vacation and didn’t have fast enough internet to upload photos. I’ve been playing catch up since getting home. So… the June 21 photo hunt was water. I was standing in Stanley Park in Vancouver, B.C. on Saturday, June 21, taking this photo.

At yet another stop in Stanley Park last Saturday, June 21, we encountered this man, in full regalia, who apparently just wanted to come hang out in the park and practice piping. Or, he might have been from a nearby very upscale restaurant where a wedding was obviously about to take place. Either way, he had a nice face and looked good in his outfit.

After we got down to beach level and walked briefly on the beach we then ventured around on the path around the edge of the water. This is a photo of Siwash Rock, a famous rock outcropping along the way.

We walked down to the beach from Prospect Point. This was taken as we walked along the path.

Another spot in Stanley Park called Prospect Point. We parked near where I took this one and then went on a mini walk about over the hills, through the woods, on the beach, around the bend, and back over the hill. It was gorgeous, every bit of it.

Our next stop on Saturday was Stanley Park. It’s the third largest park in North America and it’s beautiful. Many places to walk, loads of artists set up and drawing/painting and selling their art, a great aquarium, and fantastic views. We stopped here first. Karen and I took a walk with Weston while Mary and Martin went into the aquarium to have a look around. I loved this shot. Reflection on the water, city on one side, forest on the other. To me this photo is very much about what Vancouver has to offer.
Lunch at the Market, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This was lunch at the Granville Market. Chicken pot pie with salad. Actually, this was lunch for Mary and Karen. Martin and I had beef pot pies. All very tasty.

We, meaning Karen, Mary, Martin, and I, just got back last night from a mini vacation in Vancouver, Victoria, and Vancouver Island, Canada. We had a splendid time. Our first stop last Saturday (after driving up to pick up M & M at Sea-Tac) was Vancouver, B.C. We really only had a day there so our mission was to do a couple of things in the city we thought might be good. The first of those was a stop at the Granville Market on Granville Island. We found a great coffee place to buy chai for Mary and Karen, a cappuccino for Martin, and an upside down dopio con pana for yours truly. Very tasty. So tasty in fact that I went back for another.
We totally enjoyed the market. Great street musicians, flower vendors, shops all around… very cool.
