And a couple from when we went up Grouse Mountain -- not the best as it was sunset so there wasn't much light. They had a skating rink at the top where some little kids were playing hockey, heh. (Btw, there was no snow on the ground in the city):

Those are definitely some fine-looking humpy-bumps. Thank you, ma'am.

Morning Olivia.

Snow and duck butts - who could ask for more. :)

Wonderful pictures Olivia. When you click on them though, they send you to the flikr site and asks you to join.

Wow. One look at those and my brain tossed up the chorus from that old Berlin song:

Take my breath away...

What a gorgeous city it is.

I had a friend in Denver who was terrified of driving in the mountains. She called them, "Those ominous bumpy things."

Hooray for duck butt!

So the light was a little low: it added a nice touch to everything. Looks like a fun trip; I've always wanted to tour Canada & especially Vancouver.

Thanks Olivia. You've got to be able to get those close ups to appreciate a ducks butt, and for that matter a sloth's butt too. :)

Morning Olivia and All,
Beautiful collection of photos. Has a very familiar look to them. Heh! It's really fascinating for an Ohio girl to watch the major effect that altitude has on weather (and precipitation) out here. The mountains that I see and slowly getting white also. Cool!

Olivia,
The ski slopes of Grouse mnt. is where I saw the torch light parade coming down, from in the city.
This is a good brochure set for a beautiful city. Nice set.

What a wonderful collection, Olivia! These are really wonderful. I especially like the upper right photo and the city lights. And then there's that duck butt. That is a duck, right? ;-)

Wonderful set of shots Olivia. Looks like you had some great fun whilst you were at it.

My mind drifted a bit at the title... but ah... it drifted back to sensibility... almost immediately;)
