Sometimes I manage to get more than one good photo, then it becomes difficult to choose.  I was going to use the picture of the watermelon and roll kuchen that we ate today - the first real sign of summer!  I also got a few beautiful pictures of turtles at the park today, but this baby duckling was just too cute to pass up.  When I saw this yellow duckling with his two brown brothers, it looked like he was asking them, "Why am I yellow?" Maybe I can catch those turtles the next time.  Lots of days of summer left!

Wasn't sure what photo opportunity would present itself today, so waited until evening, then wandered over to Sardis Park to see the ducklings and goslings.  Got some good shots of the goslings, but this duck was so colourful that I couldn't help but share it!  I'll have to go back for those ducklings another day.

After a wild night with friends, Sunday was spent in recovery.  Just a low energy day watching some TV and chatting with my best friend.  Later in the day, I walked to another friend's house to watch the first game of the third round of the hockey playoffs against the San Jose Sharks. (I'm hoping the Vancouver Canucks will take the Stanley Cup this year).  On my way over, there was a shower of cherry blossoms everywhere, and each time the wind blew, there would be another wave of pink petals falling everywhere. Unfortunately, I was never quite quick enough with my camera, but here's what the trees and sidewalk looked like:

This photo is of "Candy Tuft" which is growing in my parents' yard.  It's beautiful when it's in full bloom.
They are preparing their entire yard for the annual Garden Tour that will take place in June.  This is the first year their gardens have been on the itinerary, so they are working to make sure everything looks fantastic.  I'm sure more pics of their incredible yard will be posted in the future.
