More hot weather to come

Well, I hear on the radio that we're into some hot weather starting tomorrow with 30 degrees plus temperatures (Celsius). This will put us into the weekend and should fill the beaches once again. The above photo was taken Monday of last week on BC Day at West Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver. All the beaches along that shore were filled with activity from Kitsilano Beach and Jericho Beach on to Spanish Banks Beach. There were people out having picnics everywhere one could look. That was the case with picnics this past weekend as well though the beaches were less filled with cooler temperatures.

I was out scouting beaches in advance of Brad's arrival, so he should find these more than acceptable. Meantime, the home phone is still acting up, so I'll have to contact my provider and have a tech come over to check this out. The odd thing is that I'm still getting calls from telemarketers and of course, the occasional wrong number. Just as long as the internet connection is running correctly, I'm more than happy. Meantime, Brad will have to call me on my cell since there are no problems there. That's it for now. I'm off to work soon! - Volker

English Bay's 3rd beach

Scene of English Bay's 3rd beach on a summer weekend in July. This is only a partial view. The more active part is to the right off the frame. More photos are in the works. Enjoy this one! - Volker

Deserted

After the very summer-like temperatures over the weekend, Monday was a different story. Temperatures were half what they had been the previous two days. This was the scene at English Bay's Third Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia looking west out into English Bay. There are always freighters in the bay waiting to enter Vancouver harbour, so that is not an unusual sight. Note the dull, grey skies! I love blue skies and lots of sun but even with this in mind, my preferred temperatures are in the 15 to 20 degrees Celsius range. It was at the lower end of that scale on Monday, Not to worry. The sun and warmer temperatures will be back! - Volker

English Bay's Third Beach on Sunday

This was the scene at the Third Beach on Sunday. Just like the main beach, it was practically deserted on Monday due the the rain and cooler temperatures. - Volker

English Bay Beach (main) - Vancouver, BC

This was the scene at the main beach at English Bay in Vancouver, BC on Sunday. The temperature was around 30 degrees Celsius and very sunny. Then came the rain on Monday with temperatures about half Sunday's highs. The beach today looked deserted compared to the previous day. There will be more sunny, warm days but this was a bit of a let down on Monday. - Volker
