Last few weeks...

It's picnic season again, so we've been to Lighthouse Park for dinner. Only once so far, but it was a perfect day.

Maggie relaxing for a few seconds before stepping through our meal and being a general pain.

Looking as graceful as ever.

This was on the way home from a mediocre walk the next day in North Van. There's still snow! and it's pretty much as sea level. We were outraged.

Maggie has been swimming a lot.



This is yesterday. We were working off 7 year old instructions in a hiking "guide" book whose authors feel that implications of a route are more entertaining than actual directions. I hope that the authors are lost somewhere as I write this (the first hike we tried from the book apparently doesn't exist).

Maggie is always the first to the top of everything.

This is typical of a lot of hikes. Not a big deal though.

More trails. It was deserted for a while, then there were lots of people on the road.

One of the viewpoints.

Salmonberry.

More views. Whatever.

A panoramic shot from a spot we rested at for a few minutes.

Sarah saw a bear on the way up, so this chain I found was a reasonable proxy for the bear spray we forgot at home.
