The rain was heavy last night. Autumn has absolutely arrived in British Columbia. The fog was heavy on the river but by mid-morning, the skies had cleared.
I had to pick up some prescription medicines at the uptown Walmart. Jay wanted to pick up a few items too. Rather than just driving directly to the Royal City Centre, we drove via Queen's Park. We stopped for a little stroll. The ground was still wet and the woods damp. I enjoyed the smell of wet forest.
Not a lot of people were about but there was a child's birthday party and lots of tiny friends were near the picnic shelter. We only walked for about twenty minutes. When returning to the car, we toured through the rose garden. Most of the seasonal display of flora has finished, yet a few procrastinator roses were preening with fresh drops of rain water.
