So, these pictures were taken like the morning we got to Vancouver. We got to the hotel too early to check in, so we let them hold on to our stuff (and lots of it!), while we got to be tourists. These shots are right outside of our hotel.

It is interesting what can happen when you ask someone to take a photo, if it is a person (in this case a representative of the male gender) who isn't interested in photography, he might take a picture, look at it to make sure all of the desired subjects actually ended up in the shot, and smile saying it turned out great. Huge blackening shadows are of no consequence in the quest to conquer this strangers camera. You can see this demonstrated in the family shot. Thank you, strange man, for taking a picture, when it was obviously not your God given talent, we shall cherish it.

This day is as wonderful as it looks, I can still breath in the 65ish degree air and sigh, lovely.
