planted city

Seen around town: Another grey, sometimes deluge like day here in Vancouver. In this case, at the City Hall-Broadway subway station.

Seen around town: Some straphangers lined up along the rainy block of West 4th ave & Vine earlier this week.

If you don’t know what a straphanger is check out Taras Grescoe’s awesome book on the topic: www.tarasgrescoe.com/straphanger/about.html.

here are some recent reflections from around town

I’ve got some more pics here if you’re interested in checking ‘em out.

Here are a few photos of rain soaked lupins, grasses, and a bright, red ladybug. I love life in macro. It’s amazing.

A big ol’ drop of water on a hosta leaf. It rained a lot yesterday.

A good thing about rainy cities: puddles become mirrors.  

In this case it was a slightly flooded sidewalk out at UBC this afternoon.
