Today was another beautiful day in sunny Vancouver and I had a full day of trips with eight destinations. I've included them here in the order I viewed them and included some captions as well. With such a long day, I've already dozed off a dozen times as I've been loading up photos and typing this blog. It was a great day with lectures tomorrow and another full day tour on Friday. Above are two shots of the green wall on the Semiahmoo Library and below, the rest of the day is highlighted with images.

Minter Gardens was the highlight of the day with lots to see and photograph. We had a great dinner there as well and had plenty of time to tour. The shot above and all those below are from Minter which is unfortunately closing this fall due to financial issues. Bummer. Glad I was able to enjoy it though and Brian Minter was the perfect host. More on this garden later.
