Beach walk in the glorious sun

Oh my gosh guys, it's just so beautiful in Vancouver right now.It's a little cold, lows of about -5, (I know you're all saying, "you call that cold?" but this is Vancouver!), and it's been so wonderfully sunny that I try to get out into the sunshine as much as I can.I must say that I'd much rather be here than the Black Friday weekend shopping. The city was shimmering, the air was still and warm, there were loads of people walking about, checking out the little art galleries, who had affordable arts and crafts for sale, walking their dogs, their babies, there were kayakers and runners and people on bicycles and in-line skates, and the leaves were almost gone from the trees and the winter flowers were starting to make and appearance. I love winter flowers. I love helebores and snow drops and winter jasmine.Also, I'm glad some of the photos turned out. I love taking photos into the sun but it was just so glaringly bright that I couldn't really see what I was taking photos of, and I only had my iPhone with me. :D
