I don't know about west coast - I took this shot over my morning coffee. Stanley Park, north shore mountains (Grouse Mountain up there) at 9:00 AM.
Who can stand Vancouver winters like that? I mean sure, the grass stays green - but the TREES HAVE NO LEAVES! See all those ugly bare sticks in amongst those cedars and pines?
Barbaric.
I was walking along English Bay on the weekend - the sun was shining nicely on the palm trees, but the off-shore wind was blowing them around - I bet it was only plus 6 or so with the windchill.
brrrr.....
