I wish...
My little Ixus is not quite small enough that I would want to carry it around in my handbag, it's slightly too heavy. Once and a while a moment comes when I bitterly regret not carrying it around - today was one of them. I was walking home and was just coming to Granville Island, when I saw a group of (mainly Japanese) tourists standing on the bridge looking at something. So naturally, I had to check what it was all about, and found out that there was a fishing boat that had just come in, and a man cleaning out fish - he was throwing the pieces to the water, where there to picke them up were two greedy seagulls... and a seal! The seal must have been this year's pup as it was quite small - but so gracious. It was sliding to to surface to pick up some fish, sometimes upside down, barely breaking the surface. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
(I guess the boat had been rented by an older American couple - the lady was taking photos of the seal with an expensive camera, and once the fish were done she took a photo of her husband holding the fish. Very traditional.)
And yoga was fantastic too, today.
And now Dragon just went to pick up Janne from the station.
Good day, good day.
