Jericho Beach on a sunny April afternoon

No crab fishers on the pier today.  Fishing is closed after last-week's oil spill from an anchored tanker - one of these?  No sign of oil, though - not on the water and not on this shore.

The wind blew hard and the sail-surfers flew fast!

The mast cables jingled like wind chimes against the masts of the hundreds of grounded sail-boats.  Diana thought the boats sounded restless to get out to sea.

Vancouver City sat there beyond the waves like a painting.

English daisies filled the Jericho Park grass.  Same as in Jericho, Oxford?

A red-wing blackbird whistled behind us on the bridge - lots of yummy grain on the bridge deck.

Ducks in full mating display.  Mostly shiny-green-headed mallards ...

… but not all … one wood-duck and one something, bottoms up ...

… and the bunnies are back.  Or maybe they never left?

Sand is on the move.  The cherry tree seems content, but firefighters will have some digging to do ...
