Winter sunrise in Vancouver, BC, Canada

            Sunrise over Mount Baker (located in Washington State, USA) seen from my backyard near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

A quick update: It's been a while again since I have been active here.  Those who remember, I have been raising a puppy for the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs to become either a guide dog, an assistance dog for a child with autism or a support dog for someone with PTSD.  My doggy left in November for advanced training in Edmonton to become a support dog for PTSD.  

Sadly enough she did not make it as she was a bit too distracted in some scenarios.  But because she is such a sweet and fairly calm dog otherwise they have decided she will be a "very special placement dog". She will become a pet/support dog for someone who doesn't qualify for a fully trained service dog.  While she has been waiting for a suitable family, she has come home and has been with us since mid-December!.  She will be leaving us again at the end of January as they found a family with a child that has numerous health issues and would benefit from connecting with a dog.  Hopefully our doggy will fit right in and still be able to make a difference in someone's life.  In the meantime we will enjoy the time we have with her!


About this photo:  The benefits of having dogs in the house is that you get up fairly early and may catch a sunrise.  That's what happened in this case.  I was out in the yard with the dog when I saw the sky turn different hues of pink.  I ran in to grab my phone and camera to snap a few photos.

We just received about a foot (30cm) of snow and that made scene even prettier!  You can see Mount Baker (located in Washington State, USA) in the background.  This photo was taken from my backyard in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some information on Mount Baker: Mount Baker has a height of 10,781ft (3286m) and is an active glaciated stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens.

 Some information on New Westminster:  New Westminster is a city that belongs to the Greater Vancouver area. New Westminster is located about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver along the Fraser River. This beautiful city is also called "The Royal City". The city also reminds people of San Francisco, especially because of the steep hills in town. So be prepared for those hills!

New Westminster was founded by the Royal Engineers under the command of Colonel Richard Clement Moody, and named by Queen Victoria after her favourite neighbourhood in London, Westminster. It is also the oldest city in western Canada and it was the capital of British Columbia between 1858 and 1866.

Located right in the middle of the Greater Vancouver network today, New Westminster is a charming mix of old and new, with a picturesque waterfront and fabulous Victorian architecture. It's a vibrant and progressive city with a community rich in tradition and respect for its heritage.

Come and visit this beautiful city when you are in Vancouver and find out for yourself how charming this city is. There are many things to see and to visit in New Westminster such as: New Westminster Museum and Archives, Irving House, the Samson V Paddle Wheeler, New Westminster Quay Public Market, the Antique Alley, Queen's Park, the 7-11 cycling Trail and much more.
