Boasting About Blue

We are in the middle of one of those type of days so cherished on Canada's west coast. It's blue, sunny, and warm. Of course the unusual snowfalls of earlier in the winter are, for the most part, gone. People from here and many other places know that our winters are primarily rainy.

So, when the lovely blue sky shows itself, we all go into near convulsions of giddy happiness. It's days like these when we brag to the rest of cold, snowy Canada. We say things such as "this is the best place on earth" in which to live. The odd thing is that we mean it too.

It's not terribly uncommon to have nice February days. I looked back on Flickr and found evidence taken in 2002 with my first digital camera. Seven years ago to this very day, it was also pleasant and blue in Sapperton Park in New Westminster.
