On Friday we bid farewell to the grandparents at Vancouver airport, but not before we had welcomed another visitor to our home city; my brother, en route back to Ontario from Shanghai where he had been for a business trip. Family get togethers are infrequent these days, with two of us living on opposite sides of Canada, so this was rather special, albeit a snatched hour in a crowded airport.
My brother can be relied upon to be up for a good walk, and we have been missing out on a proper bit of clambering over rocks and roots recently as we have been going on 'toddler friendly walks', but Boo was amenable to going in the backpack this time, so we set out on the 'Lynn Loop'. Conditions being just right (soggy after relentless rain in recent days), I found plenty of fungi along the way to marvel at, and once again felt vastly grateful for the opportunity we've had to live in such a beautiful part of the world.
Great pictures! x
