Winter Olympics Day One

The view from my home island, Bowen Island, looking across the Queen Charlotte Channel to Cypress Bowl, where the freestyle skiing events will be held during the Olympics.  It’s 10 degrees and raining, and that cloud deck shows no sign of lifting.

Yes there is very little snow.  It’s February in Vancouver.  It’s always like this.  In fact I should have had my snow tires off the car two weeks ago.  Daffodils are coming up and spring is just around the corner.
