What I Wore, the Weekend Version. . .

 A little What I Wore, What I Did reporting from the weekend while I polish up a post that's taking time to write. Apologies to those of you who saw these two posts on Instagram -- above, What I Wore to the opera Saturday night, a powerful, moving production  of Jake Heggie's Dead Man Walking. I wrote a bit more about these in those IG posts, if you're interested.

Saturday was a busy day. Earlier, after a run and a quick breakfast, we took advantage of the mixed-sun-and-clouds weather to visit Van Dusen Botanical Garden.

I wore my shiny new sneakers, faded Levis, and a new sweatshirt that's been making me happy lately

 covered it all up in this light cotton field jacket

and headed off to take advantage of our garden membership before the inevitable rains fell.

Here's a bit of what we saw before the skies opened and we scurried for shelter at a favourite neighbourhood Pho place. Mmmmm, noodles!

I keep thinking that I've got to get myself organised and get to The Garden with my DSLR camera or my sketchbook. Meanwhile, though, I drive Pater crazy, I'm sure, with my constant recourse to my iPhone.  When the Macro thing works and/or the depth of field blurs up the background nicely to direct your eye to what I saw, it's so satisfying. In this photo below, it's those funny little curls of the emerging leaves -- the wind was blowing enough to keep unfocusing the camera lens, but this shot is okay.

 And this field of ferns. . . . I'm not sure the shot lets you see the same swath I saw of funny little green aliens comically poking their heads up at a quizzical angle, but at least you can appreciate the multitudinous fiddleheads

 The Red-Twig dogwood that was burning up the garden when we visited in February has turned down the heat a bit as it leafs out, and it makes a great background for the Bleeding Heart.

 and for the Bergenia down the road.

 I have to say that I'm not generally a fan of Bergenia, but ths patch was quite attractive, and perhaps I'll change my mind. . . . (and yes, that's Pater in the background -- he's making a note of plant name details for his next visit to the nursery -- stay tuned for news about one appearing on our terrace soon)

No need to be talked into admiring this maple, but I spent a frustrating amount of time trying to get my iPhone camera to focus sharply on those tiny, delicate maple flowers and the incipient whirligig seeds, all sweetly green-and-pink.

 And oh my, these erythronium. . . . so very graceful. The garden has some really charming woodland areas, beautifully planted.

That's quite enough for now, isn't it, although I'm afraid I have scads more still in the camera. But Monday morning, we're trying to get our week organised and started, and we really shouldn't be tarrying online, should we? Still, before you go, perhaps a word or two about what you got up to this weekend and whether you enjoyed dressing up or down for those activities. Or, as always, about anything else you'd like to add to our conversation. I'm writing this Sunday evening, and Pater and I are just sipping a glass of wine, waiting for his Moroccan chicken to be ready to eat. I must confess, we'll be eating it in front of the screen, watching Season 3 of The Affair.  . . It would be so much more civilised to eat at the table, place mats, candle, conversation, but needs must. . . Sorry to disappoint ;-)
