A Quiet Place to Wait.
It is early spring and the gardens are quiet. A few gardeners have planted some crops, others have come by to till their soil and spread manure. Lines are laid out and the gardens wait for the plants to fill the organised spaces. By next fall the plants will begin to win the battle over these plans and institute a form of “structured chaos.” Here is a nice seat to watch it from.

Yesterday followed the Fraser River from where it meets the ocean through Vancouver to the edge of New Westminster, the former capital of the province. Mostly stayed in natural areas, exploring what the relationship of the land was to the river, but here found a new walkway going up, under construction, getting people off the pathway and walking through the site. Everyone had passed through gates and warning signs.

I often find it strange how how people can engage in an activity at the same time, yet be so separated. These three individuals just walked across the Faser River, on a walkway that hangs under the bridge. The walkway was a second thought it seems. Walking below the bridge they have been so isolated with only one way to go, one path to take, yet when they finish they quickly separate and go their own way, nearly oblivious one another.
