I arrived Monday around noon and after dumping my stuff and grabbing a quick bit to eat, took a walk around the neighborhood near the Lonsdale Quay. I arrived on a particularly gorgeous day, I must say!

The North Shore is a lovely area, with lots of trendy places to shop and eat, and also has a great view of downtown across the bay.

The market just below the hotel had a bunch of yummy stuff, including three different fruit vendors.

The view from my hotel room, looking slightly left (taken Friday morning)

You can see both of these gorgeous dilapidated buildings in the overall shot above, in the middle of the frame. I couldn’t get any closer than this because of a chain link fence, but the texture in these two buildings was incredible!




Later that night after our welcome dinner, I admired the view from my room again, this time looking right.

The next morning I woke up pretty early, and was treated to beautiful color in the sky! Mike made sure to correct me when I was pointing out the “fishing boats” to him– apparently they are tugboats and I just don’t know much about boating!


Later in the afternoon on Tuesday, I grabbed this during the shooting assignment.

Fast forward to Friday, because I didn’t have a chance to pick up my camera again until then! This was taken while on the ferry boat ride across the bay.


Danelle and Ral of Rad Studio picked me up and took me on the greatest tour of Vancouver! I can’t thank them enough and had an awesome day with them.


We stopped by a few locations frequented by none other than the Bebbs.

Danelle took this of me, and all the others of me in this post.



Ral and I probably looked like dorks walking across the street shooting each other!








We stopped in Ral and Danelle’s neighborhood on the way to the airport… I think they took my many hints that I love trees and fall color!

Thanks so much you guys for such an amazing day!
