Today is my birthday,
so I thought I would include a selfie shot!

I am sitting on the road slightly to the right of the fellow walking by.
Street photographers prefer to remain in the background!

I love the colour red!

Hat's Off Day Festival, Burnaby
Nikon D600, 28mm - 105mm AFD Nikkor lens

Large parts of British Columbia seem to be in summer mode already,
and with that comes the local community celebration days.
Last week was the 'Hat's Off Day' along east Hastings in Burnaby.

And most of the community days seem to have parades.
Parades for me,
are as much about the beautiful people in the audience,
as the parade itself.

and Lynn Valley Creek just before it tumbles madly through it's canyon.
