Aaahhh, breathe in deeply the soft moist air of the temperate rainforest. A hint of cherry blossoms and a dash of salt tickle my nose. When the sun shines, my eyes are amazed by the croci standing at attention and boasting their bright colours.

Yesterday, I went for a long walk in the neighbourhood. I saw the first ants and bees of the season busy with renewed work after a long sleep. And, over my shoulder to the north there is the occasional fresh dusting of spring snow on the North Shore mountains. Vancouver in the springtime…There is nothing like it! It is awesomely beautiful.
