Vancouver, British Columbia is a truly beautiful city. It was not hard to drag myself from my comfortable bed at the Westin Bayshore to walk the short distance to the water’s edge. Cardero Park sits just between the docks and the hotel, with a clear view to the East and of Stanley Park and Deadman’s Island.

Every photo taken on this morning has a special meaning for me. Each shot was captured while reflecting on the incredible kindness of friends. It was a special morning.
