Waiting for the rain to let up

Yesterday I spent a luxurious afternoon at VanDusen Gardens. After lunching at Truffles, I spent most of the afternoon sitting on a sofa on the empty outdoor deck under a wide overhang, reading and dozing. When the weather cleared, I took in the rhododendron walk, sadly damaged by the recent harsh winter, but still lovely. Umbrellas are a necessity in Vancouver this spring.
