Fraser Foreshore Walk
We had a ramble this morning at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, walking from Byrne Road east out to the meadow and around and back.
A few sights along the way:
This chopper kept circling across the river in Richmond — likely related to the big fire yesterday.
Lots of snowberries around.
This stone has more cup holders than a minivan. . . It even has a cup. Sigh…

We’ve never walked Lafarge Lake in the summer, but we’ve been to the Lights at Lafarge several times in the winter.
We succumbed 🙂
