Birches on (American) Sumas Mountain are just starting to turn. Camped up there last night. Give those trees a week and I bet a lot more will be colorful as it was COLD up there. Glad I had my little catalytic heater with me.

In the moving north department, my provincial nomination came through yesterday. Next steps are applying with the federal government for a work permit (which given the nomination should get easy approval), then comes the apartment hunting. Will probably rent something in the city of Vancouver, though the elevation aspect does still make being Pomoman’s neighbor tempting.

Hey Blackberry man. I would say if you don't mind the commute move to the Metrotown area in a section that is in the snow belt. Someone that lives near there can probably tell you the best spots there. The SkyTrain is in that area and it's a fairly quick commute to downtown if that's where you will be working. Plus, if it's snowing out you can walk in the snow and enjoy it

Lovely Rubes please deactivate the border force field upon entry into Canada.

The fresh mountain snow was visible on my ride into work this morning. There also was some on Golden Ears as well as these higher mountain up Indian Arm. Meslilloet Mountain is in the centre and the Mamquam glacier on the far left is visible from the Alex Fraser.

Fantastic shot bicycle man can't help but wonder do you have Queens "Ride my bicycle"playing
on your ear buds while cycling throughout the lowermainland.?

Thanks! I will keep that in mind.

Gorgeous. I love the fall colours so unlike our coastal fall where they turn yellow green then fall off. Well into October and the trees still all have their leaves, though they are starting to yellow.

I was in Costco yesterday and saw all their Christmas stuff out already. Soon it's going to be the 12 months of Christmas.
