I'm on vacation, so please accept my apologies for the brief entries. -- Daniel.
While I'm on vacation in Manitoba, these are the sorts of scenes I'm missing back in Vancouver -- the foggy afternoons with warm low sunlight in the David C. Lam Asian Garden. This photograph is from a couple years ago, taken while slightly leaning out my office window.

Fog makes me think of bog monsters. Nice shot. (I read this "while slightly leaning" forward to take a sip of coffee. ;~)

Beautifully nontraditional definition of "office with a view." Lucky you!

Looking at your photo gave me the zen moment I needed today. Thank you for sharing, Daniel.

My goodness!
I am in the same situation...
Away, for an extended period,from Vancouver and the places i love to visit most. I won't be there for the apple festival and the gardens at UBC in the Fall.
I am SO thankful for any nostalgic landscape pictures you care to post here, especially of this time of year!

Wonder if that is what Eden looked like? It's absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for the opportunity to see it.
