Crossing over the Granville Street Bridge in Vancouver, my daughter and I had a bird's eye view (pictured left) of the Granville Island Public Market and the bright canary yellow restaurant there.
What better name for the restaurant than Bridges?
There are three bridge crossings in close proximity over False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver to outlying areas. Across the way, we spied the Burrard Street Bridge built in the 1930's. Its Art Deco influence was visible from afar. Cambie Street Bridge (not pictured) also spans this inlet at the heart of the city.
There are imaginary, real and unchallenged obstacles as we press forward in life so I'll quote Penelope Puddle who would say without hesitation to all who cross from here to there: "Wishes for bridges each step of your way."
I love that..."wishes for bridges"!! I remember the first time I walked across the Granville Street Bridge. Hope to be in Vancouver soon or soonish, "the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise" which is quite possible right now.

What a fine day that was. I haven't been there in years!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some bright yellow!!! Almost hurts the eyes, but definitely catches you attention.
ReplyDeleteThe looks like an interesting market well worth the walk over the bridge.
ReplyDeleteYou can't miss that yellow.
ReplyDelete...what a wonderful bridge.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very talented, and your quote is the perfect accompaniment!
ReplyDeleteLife right now seems to be about bridging the gap between young-old and very-old .... and on a more mundane level, bridging between Florida and Oregon (as we are close to our semi-annual migration).
ReplyDeleteHello, love the photos of the bridge and river. Looks like a nice walk. The quote is great. Enjoy your day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI love how you looped the post from the photos of bridges to your artwork and your daughter. Magic!!
ReplyDeleteCreative photo presentations ~ connecting all with bridges of some sort ~ lovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you,
C & Z
I love the beautiful shots of the bridges but my favorite is the card you created. That's very special.

I like the view of the Burrard Street Bridge; the beautiful architecture of the bridge with the city’s connection to the 1930’s. The bright yellow color is setting the Bridges off. By connecting these fragmental scenes of the area, I imagine the area would look like Kobe Harbor area of my hometown regarding how the harbor downtown is developed for both local people and tourists.

Lovely views from the bridge!
ReplyDeleteGranville Island is such a fun place. I love walking around the booths and purchasing things to take outdoors to make a lunch. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI am not so wild about these great big bridges, but little country stone bridges over a slowly meandering stream are exquisite and I can never resist standing in them to look over.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet surprise to see your post. We were there at the beginning of May. I have a couple of posts up right now and took so many photos that I will do another when I have finished my vacation journal ones. Great photos!
ReplyDeletep.s. almost forgot with my excitement to tell you how much I loved your daughter’s drawing of Penelope :)
ReplyDeleteIf that's your daughter on the bridge what a beautiful hair she has and what a talent I love that beautiful card
ReplyDeleteWonderful posts with glorious pictures to brighten the reader's day, even on rainy days.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful way with words.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous post, thoroughly enjoyed! I had a delightful time at Granville Island Public Market when we were visiting Vancouver back in 2018. Your photos brought our trip right back to me, great memories!
