Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!).
I've had one of those Saturdays where I've barely left the house all day. Aside from the annual trip down to the always exciting Aircare facility early this morning, I've been a homebody. But through the magic of social media I've been kept up to date with the cornucopia of precipitation around Vancouver today. On Facebook I read of a friend pleading with the hail to stop so she can simply walk to the store; on Twitter a contact mentions how said hail is cutting down her garden. Other people were anticipating a double-rainbow that would foreshadow a Canucks victory tonight, thus ending their second-round series versus Nashville.
And that information is all well and good, but I am a visual person and that's where Flickr comes in. Maurice Li submitted a photograph to the pool from this afternoon that really illustrates to me how the weather looked out there. In his caption, Maurice describes "the most violent rain/hailstorm in recent memory" and relates how he was stranded under an awning for 45 minutes, pondering a future umbrella purchase, as he was Caught Outside.
