Hungry birds

These stickers are all over the public market at Granville Island in Vancouver. Apparently the gulls are voracious to the point that vendors need to be explicit about not refunding patrons for food lost to hungry birds.

Enjoying the view

Views such as this is why people like to hang out in the dome-observation Skyline and Park cars aboard Via Rail’s The Canadian. Got this image last month as the train made its way westward toward the town of Jasper.

Vancouver: City of cherry blossoms

This is a sure sign of spring in Vancouver: The city’s many cherry trees are in full bloom, give the place splashes of bright pink here and there.

Land of rivers

It takes 12-plus hours to cross the Canadian Shield of Northern Ontario by train, occasionally taking you places where roads don’t go. The region’s trademark: More lakes and rivers than you can count.
