Woof...My Name is Bear

 


We are dog sitting for a week or so, we had Sandy (the same Pomeranian) for about fifteen years and three months. I take him for a walk in the morning and afternoon, Bear has so mush energy in the morning. We walked for at least 2 miles a day. He keeps me healthy for sure.

Steveston - Fisherman's Wharf

 


We were dumb struck to find a huge crowd on Monday, later we found out that day was a Victoria Day in Canada, equivalent to Memorial Day in the US.

Skytrain - Vancouver, Canada

 


This Tuesday is raining, and I am talking not drizzling like in Portland, what a better way to ride the train, but we still manage to get wet, Pokie took the smaller umbrella.

Minoru Park (new)

 


I was dumbstruck to find this park redone, I was here in 2019 and it's completely different, it is more open and it looks bigger the way the layout was arranged. One of my favorite park indeed.

Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden


 The forecast was cloudy stating at 9:00 AM, I guess I rely too much on it. When we got there it was sunny and breezy. I have to deal with shadows again. We had a last handicap parking space. The parking lot is very small. We ended up become an annual member for 2024.

Riverfront Park - Salem

 


We supposed to go to Crystal Spring Rhododendron Park, but luckily I check the Google Map for the opening hours, true enough on Wednesdays, the park open at 1:00 PM, so I decided to come here.
