bright full moon behind bare wintry tree branches

ooh full moon tonight. eclipsed moon not seen because clouds came

'Hell is empty and all the devils are here' say these street posters in Vancouver, naming Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, Kurtis Yarvin, Alex Karp, Peter Theil, JD Vance. Unfortunately I feel the list is a lot longer than this and maybe Vance sb baby devil #uspoli #cdnpoli #yvr #villainaires

Skyscrapers against blue sky in downtown Vancouver

Skyscrapers against blue sky, one with a mural up one side. Vancouver BC Canada

Alberni street in downtown Vancouver, I enjoyed this mural and mural reflection situation

a garage door painted as a scene from the 1964 book the Giving Tree, and beside it is a medium size unplanted conifer tree in a block of soil

Tree to give and The Giving Tree, side by side

View from a vehicle going over large cable-stayed bridge with blue skies and fluffy white clouds and nearby construction cranes

View from a vehicle going over large cable-stayed bridge with name stal̕əw̓asəm visible at mid span with blue skies and fluffy white clouds

Opening day for the stal̕əw̓asəm bridge, replacing the Puttullo bridge. The ole Puttullo was generally terrifying to walk, bike or drive over but had cool 1930s style

Just going to leave this here:

The more people that sign, the faster this becomes a thing the government has to deal with. Please. I beg of you, don't let this pass you by. Help us make sure Canada remains an accepting and open place for all.

My uncle says he's gonna watch his 60th Superbowl game today, which apparently is ALL of them, since 1966. I guess that's why it says LX, not a location or snack code

Icy frost patterns on the hood of a dark coloured car

Looking down at branching spreading frost patterns on a glass table with a dark hole in the middle for the shade umbrella, not present

ice, the cool kind

Looking down on an urban lake which is actually a water filled hole where a building once stood, with the reflection of leafless trees on the water, and a view of Vancouver's North Shore mountains in the background

the local urban pond is looking beautiful today. Former and future building site of Aaron Webster Co-op housing to be (re)built one of these years. Aaron was murdered 25 years ago by a group of young men. His neighbours renamed the co-op after him #Vancouver and also thetyee.ca/News/2011/11...

like 20 years ago the Terminal City newspaper folded

Book entitled Between Friends / Entre Amis with pictures of Canadian and USA flags on the front

Found this book on the free shelf. Thinking about how different the title for the reissue would be 😢 #canpoli

Swiss Chard still going strong! It's been a warm winter in Vancouver BC. Growing food with global crazy weather ain't easy but it's important we keep knowing how. Support your local farmers if you can.

an outdoor scene from TV show the Littlest Hobo, with several humans including Mike Myers and the dog named London

snapshot of a scene in The Littlest Hobo, Mike Myers 1979

Been watching season 1 of The Littlest Hobo lately (Canadian TV series from 1979 to mid 80s) and was caught off guard by Mike Myers in episode 10

close look at a patch of frizzy lichen growing on the bark of an old conifer in a snowy forest

YouTube video by David Bowie David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans (Official Video) [4K]

"I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it"

this 1995 song often played in my head when visiting the U.S. (in the beforetimes)

David Bowie called it. Also, in the music vid Trent Reznor plays the villain 🖤

View at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, looking down on a large grassy area dotted with Canada geese, then in the background is Burrard inlet water, and forest and snow dusted mountains

this park is busy with humans in summer, but in winter it belongs to the geese. They used to all migrate but now many live here year round. With lawn buffets like this park why would a goose bother flying elsewhere

Happy #invertefest which I just learned about and love. This one is by an 8 year old on a dahlia variety that the bees adore

Child in bat costume hugs a giant stuffed teddy bear with Santa hat, outside in an urban park in Vancouver Canada
