gorgeous day
impresario
Originally uploaded by LizzieBelle Too. Wow, what a lovely afternoon! It was bright and sunny, and in the 40s, so I walked down to Stanley Park and wandered around. There were quite a few people out & about, and everyone was in a good mood due to the nice weather.
I found this awesome paper wasp nest in an apple tree near the herb garden. It was about 7 or 8 feet off the ground, so I held my camera up as high as I could and hoped for the best; the results were pretty good!
I went down to see the geese, and there were a lot of folks there, feeding them and the ducks. The swan was indifferent. A woman and her daughters actually brought cracked corn instead of bread, which was doubtless appreciated. The little girls stayed back, throwing handfuls of corn and squealing at the geese.
I had thought of going to the movies this evening, since nearly everyone else will be watching the game, but since the only person I could think of who also wouldn't be watching it (ami_1) is away, I think I'll just stay home and watch a DVD. I have Doctor Who from Netflix, and french bread pizza. Sounds like fun to me!
Speaking of Doctor Who, I had to giggle at the geek-out last night between all the SF fans at Imbolc. It was nice to be around other fans; hardly anyone at work has even heard of DW. I think Mike is the only one. I'm still waiting for Torchwood from Netflix; there's a long wait, they tell me. Boo. It's not worth the extra thirty or so bucks a month, though, to get digital cable.
Go Pats! *g*
