Cruise Ships

Cruise Ship - Vancouver  2017

Island Princess - Vancouver  2017

Whoa. Those things are really big and impressive, especially when pulling out in the afternoon.

Japadogs

Japadog Exterior - Vancouver  2017

Japadog Counter - Vancouver  2017

A Vancouver must-have. Yelp reviewers really like it, but, you know, Yelp reviewers. Our take: OK to try it once, but no need to have it again.

Tall Buildings

Reflections - Vancouver  2017

Sun Flare - Vancouver  2017

Lots of tall, glass-covered buildings in Vancouver, reflecting the buildings opposite them, and bouncing sun flares down onto the street. I took a great many reflection shots, too many.

Vancouver Chinatown

New Sun Ah Hotel - Vancouver  2017

Steamed Buns - Vancouver  2017

Our first food jaunt in Vancouver . . . walking to Chinatown and sampling various buns and such. All good.

Vancouver Airport

Airport Customs Area, Arrivals - Vancouver  2017

Airport Corridor, Departures - Vancouver  2017

Hali and Mike spent a few days last month in Vancouver. The Vancouver airport's arrival area (top photo) is quite cool, with Northwest-themed dioramas and such . . . the departure area (bottom photo), not so much. Both are iPhone photos.

April in Portugal

April in Portugal - San Anselmo  2017

A 1958 album. Once I heard the actual melody, of course I remembered it. Not my favorite.

Pots (Cocotte) - San Francisco  2017

Wine Glasses (Cocotte) - San Francisco  2017

At Cocotte, on Hyde Street. Cable cars kept rumbling by . . . very cool, although I wasn't able to get a shot.

Food there was good, but the main event for me was my finding a parking spot not that far away. Whoa!

San Francisco Dining - 1

Hot Sauce and Panko - San Francisco  2017

Bob's Donuts - San Francisco  2017

Trying to figure out how to sample the fare at Hot Sauce and Panko . . . no seating, so would have to take out.

Perching on a nearby tree. He considerately waited there while I went into the house and procured the Olympus 75-300mm lens.
