Following my visit to Van Dusen Botanical Garden (click here to check that post – will open in a new window), on the following weekend, I chose to go to another local park/garden. In this case, Queen Elizabeth Park. I must mention it was raining on the prior days and started to rain again an hour or so after I left the park so I was really fortunate I took advantage of that small window of opportunity. So, without further ado, enjoy this photo essay!

Note: Today, I have two post! This is the second one of two – the “other” one is called “Cooking Shows“.
In the last couple of days, the weather has gone sideways. Weather almost hit 0C/32F for a couple of days and we are not even winter yet! Likewise, it has been raining in the last couple of days! Now, rain as in actual rain, not that drizzle that seems to last forever. Anyway, in a small gap between those two wacky instances of Vancouver’s weather, I went to my favourite garden: Van Dusen Botanical Garden, which I have blogged previously – 2008 Festival of Lights, 2008 Festival of Lights Dancing Lights and pictures in spring. (On that note, I also visited Queen Elizabeth Park, my other favourite garden/park. Pictures coming next week!). So, enjoy this photo essay!

To those who do not live in Metro Vancouver, see you tomorrow, there is not much to see here! ^_^;;; OK, OK, just kidding… Two weeks ago, a new metro line in Vancouver opened: Canada Line. This metro line connects Richmond Centre, Vancouver Airport and Downtown Vancouver. There has been controversies, lawsuits and detractors but this post is not related to any of these. Instead, this is about the end result and my first ride through the system. So, enjoy this photo essay!

A landmark in Vancouver is the PNE – the Pacific National Exhibition. However, during the last couple of weeks before Labour Day long weekend, The Fair opens… And, based on my experience last year, I chose to go there again this year! Here is a photo essay of my visit (thought the pictures are not necessarily in sequential order, hehehehe).
Before you continue, I must mention that some of the pictures are below par for several reasons: lots of people moving around, zoom (and crop) to take snapshot of other’s dishes and so on. I apologize for that! Also, while there will be a lot of comments, there are also 50+ images (around 15MB total). If you are on a slow connection, please, be patient!

This is a part 2 of 2 post. For part one – Car Free Day 2009 – Denman Street, please, click here.
Right after my visit to the Car Free Day event in Denman Street, I went to Commercial Drive’s. While I had the chance to also go to the one in Main Street (my original intent), I ended up in this one instead. Don’t ask why, OK? ^_^;;;
