We are all at different places in spring across the Steem stratoverse. In Vancouver it's lilac season and time for the flower's supremely-scented purple reign.

No flower smells better if you ask me, and so get out there and take a sniff or three. Lilac time is fleeting. No more than a fortnight in most places and then it's another year's wait.

Vancouver has done well in making itself one of the most walkable cities in the world. Burrard Bridge, the oldest bridge in the city, has lovely wide paths for both pedestrians and bikers. The stroller can take in the stunning views without worry of being taken out by car or any other wheeled mode of transportation. We all got our lanes. Keep to your lane, mind you, or risk millenial outrage. There are no Starbucks on the bridge. Sugar and caffeine lows can set in and then heaven help the walking weaver or reverse direction biker.

My son and I traverse the bridge usually once a week on our way to the H.R. Macmillan Space Center and Observatory. Last week, I featured its gift shop for #marketfriday. @dswigle wished I had included a picture of its unique architecture and so here you go, Denise.

You might think you are looking at a building's answer to a flying saucer and a metal sculpture representation of the constellation of Cancer. But no. The unique saucer and cone shape mimics our local first nation's traditional hat and the crab is the guardian of the Bay. The building also houses the Museum of Vancouver and so it is very apropos.
