We did have snow this winter and some cold temperatures. Quite bracing. Now (Jan. 21) we're back to normal with absolutely no snow on the ground. Will it return?

Snow for winter 2012

My son, Russell Adams, is one of the artists featured in this book of "Bike Art" from artists throughout the world.

This is what Russell had to say about his art work. His artist name is RUSL.

Setting up the little reindeer
Finn and Rosalind put up the reindeer at the top of our steps. It's a Rudolph, of course.
Frankie and Jane
Among our Christmas activities was a visit to the light display at Van Dusen gardens. Everyone enjoyed that.
Drum
In the museum was an exhibit on Bhangra music - modern Indian pop - including some drums to play.

In front of my house on my birthday
This is what was on the lawn and in front of the house on my birthday.
Wonder who put up the 40 flamingos, two penguins, a pig and a cow.

Russell at the computer
Russell at his computer. I lost my camera so I took this on a cell phone that Russell got me. Seems to work okay when there's sufficient light.

Frankie at demonstration
I think Frankie (held here by Johnny) enjoyed the sounds and colours and excitement. He's now 7 months.
Occupy Wall Street in Vancouver
Here was part of the demonstration. A few thousand where there. After gathering on the north side of the Art Gallery and listening to speeches, the group marched north on Hornby, crossed, and south on Howe, then back to the Art Gallery for more speeches. Instead of listening to the second set of speeches, we went for lunch.
On the steps
At the Occupy demonstration, Ros and I met Finn, Jane, Frankie, and Johnny on the south steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery. This is a composite picture but it does show how we were sitting.
Lighthouse Park
Sign in Lighthouse Park with advice I would try to follow if the occasion arose ("Don't panic") but wonder if I'd be able to.
Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver
Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver. The day was cloudy but while we were in the park the rain held off, except at the very end. The weather didn't keep a few people from sailing.

Roof of BC Place
Before the game, the roof was opened. It did let in air, but the hole seems small... so much money was spent for a stadium with a hole in the roof that's not very large compared to the size of the place!
Opening kickoff
The Lions kicked off. Ball is in the circle. Not much scoring in the first half, it picked up in the second. Being at a game is certainly different from watching on TV, though they had really big screens at the stadium. You may not see the game as well, but you catch so much more atmosphere. Especially the vuvuzela!
Opening of renovated BC Place
Half time at BC Place during the Lions-Edmonton game, the first in the renovated BC Place. This remotely controlled blimp dropped tiny footballs to people. Smoke in background was from fireworks set off on the field. The Lions won. Fun, even though a guy four seats to my right kept blowing a vuvuzela--very loud!

New Vancouver Stadium
Our "crown of thorns" half-billion dollar stadium revamping (hey there, Gordon Campbell) will certainly do one thing: give Vancouver a unique downtown skyline. Less than two months from completion.
