On Friday we had a major wind storm. Ferries were cancelled and it lasted all day. Many people lost power but thankfully ours stayed on. A tree fell on the Skytrain tracks halting service and Stanley Park was closed for safety reasons. In Vancouver a woman was hit by a fallen tree on a sidewalk and thankfully her screams were heard by a neighbour before she passed out! He got a jack and raised the tree and was cutting the tree with a saw as Firemen arrived. He saved her life! I went for a short walk and on my way home, this was on our next door neighbour's driveway:

| The top of the tree broke off. Luckily no one was walking or parked in the driveway! |
Yesterday, Nancy and I planned on walking Crescent Beach. Our weather hasn't been too co-operative lately and we haven't walked in a while. It was very cool and sunny. A gorgeous day for a walk! There were only a few people out walking.
 |
| We were amazed at the number of birds and herons on the beach! |
 |
| The winds were calm and the view was AWESOME! |
 |
| This looks like fun! |

We were watching two kayaks as they came into shore.
When we got closer, it was Mayor Doug McCallum! |
He was out early and it must have been cold on the water! We took a picture and continued walking. He's not on my favorite politicians list!
