The US Pro Cycling tour descended on SF today for one of the toughest races on the tour, the course actually goes up on Fillmore Street. We watched on Embarcadero in front of the Ferry Building near the start and finish line. Here's pictures (some heavily cropped).

We took a trip to Vancouver on the Labor Day weekend. We went because my wife has family there and we haven't seen them in a while. Even if you don't have family ties it is worth checking out the region. It is beautiful with its bays, islands, calm seas ideal for kayaking, surrounding mountains and forests. Excellent restaurants too. We are sooo tempted to move there. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many cs jobs available and I don't think I can convince my current employer to allow complete tele-commuting. Oh well.
Here are pictures of the trip. My wife took the pretty flower ones (Butchart Gardens near Victoria on Vancouver Island). She used an Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom camera she bought on eBay recently.
And since we're on this topic I thought I'll post some more flower pictures taken by my wife with the new camera, this time in our backyard.
