Busy Burnaby: Farmer’s Market, Hats Off Day, Deer Lake Ramble
It was a glorious Saturday with great weather - sunny but not hot - after several weeks of cool, rainy days here in Burnaby, BC. We celebrated with a grand tour of several places: the farmer's market at City Hall, the Hats Off parade and celebration along the Heights, a ramble all the way around Deer Lake, and topped if off with a balcony BBQ back home.
The Farmer's Market:
Beekeeping is now allowed in many yards in Burnaby. Yay!
On to Hats Off in the Heights. We missed the parade but walked the street festival from end to end:

OK, I'm an environmentalist now, but in my youth
I skinned plenty of knuckles on V-8 engines - this one's
a beaut!
We dropped by Deer Lake on the way home and walked a complete loop:
The songs that burst forth from little balls of fluff are amazing!

It's wonderful to see such magnificent birds right in the city!
