A screen-capture of the CBC Listen web site. The audio player is very, very quickly flashing through photos associated with all the different programs that might happen over ... the week? It's intensely flickering.
A large tree branch lies across a paved lane. There are public tennis courts on the left, pavement in the middle with painted bike sharrows, and a lawn with large trees on the right. The branch is somewhat supported on a crushed fence and impedes travel along the lane. A person on a bike is heading onto the lawn to get around the downed tree.

A photo of a tortoise shell cat, the cutest tortie in the Olympic Village of Vancouver
What appears to be an AI generated image of Vancouver with impossible placement of the north shore mountains, some water, Canada Place. Five figures are in the foreground facing away from the camera, with a Canadian flag flying and, inexplicably, some bright fireworks in the top right. There is some text: "Happy Birthday Canada"
Sign in Ottawa that says "Placettes Pubiques" rather than "Placettes Publiques".
A FB post that says "5:40am cougar walking along the bike path of the seawall in front of Science World"
The aforementioned potato stack. It's just a 5ft tower of potato plants at this point, competing with some quite aggressive and equally tall peas.
A photo of the caps of many grads, from above and behind. One of them has pixelated lights on it.
Two young men standing side-by-side in front of a railing overlooking a Rose Garden filled with people. One of them is wearing a cap and gown with a yellow hood, holding a diploma, the other is wearing a pink shirt and dark slacks. It's a bright sunny day.
A graduation program held in a hand with a theatre stage (mostly empty right now) in the background.
A shot of downtown Vancouver from between some trees in a park much higher up than the city. The North Shore Mountain appear in the background, and the sky is blue with wispy white clouds. And, oh, a bike computer on some handle bars showing a total distance of 11111 km.
A photo of BC Place across False Creek. It's bright and sunny and you can see some water taxis in the water.
A young man sits at a table on a stage.
A small multicoloured passenger ferry (an Aquabus) sails towards a dock. There's a multicoloured FIFA soccer ball strapped to the top of the cabin. In the background, several mid-sized residential towers, and the tree-covered North Shore Mountains. Between two of the towers on the right side is the geodesic dome of Science World, which has been given a makeover to resemble a World Cup soccer ball.
A dashing young man wearing sunglasses, a dark grey suit, pink shirt, red vest, tie, and pocket square, sitting on a bench in the shade, with some green shrubbery and the bottom floor of a condominium in the background.
Four wood trapezoidal prisms attached to a wooden panel on a wall.
A tiny hand on a stick, pointing
A photography of a 2' diameter chicken wire cylinder of dirt with straw lining the outside. You can't actually see the cylinder because there are so many potato plants growing out the side, and some out of control arugula is on the bottom.
Two tiny hand sticks, one red, one white.
A jeep drives along a paved dedicated bike lane underneath the Burrard Bridge (between a park and the new Senakw development).
A hand holds a playbill showing 6 student-written and acted one-act plays in front of an empty dramatorium stage.
A large long haired tortoise shell cat sits on an orange fabric covering a cushion from an outdoor chair. The cushion is sitting on the cushion of an indoor chair. The cat is looking with disdain at the camera.
A hand holds a Mamma Mia! playbill in front of the stage curtain which is a blue abstract pattern that might resemble water?

A meme image of a scruffy man in a "Canada" tuque, wearing a checked plaid jacket holding an envelope that says "2026 Census Long-form Questionnaire". He's an a room oozing Canadiana including a Canadian flag, a wooden sign saying "True North Strong and Free", a poster saying "I'd rather be in Canada" and other items. The man is looking at the envelope, pumping his fist.
An IG post from shakespearehipster: From first show to last show! Pictured above: a grade 8 Quinlan finding playful specificity in Dennis Foon's amazing play Kindness. Pictured below: a grade 12 Quinlan bringing honesty, power and vulnerability to the role of Macbeth. He has continually been challenged with insanely complex works including Marlowe, Kushner and his personal favourite Jory. Each time he engaged with the work meaningfully and with full commitment. I can't wait to see Quinlan continue to evolve as an artist and human ( even if he is pursuing Engineering). Fun fact: both shows were costumes by the amazing Jack Bumbala Macbeth with The Proposal
A photo of a letter to the editor for the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper, titled "Comment: Bike lanes on steep Cook St will bring mayhem". A photo of a 5-lane wide road is shown with traffic cones along the road.
Several middle aged people and their bikes pose in front of a bridge that kinda looks like a helix. Sunshine and blue skies overhead.
Cast and production crew for Macbeth, on stage, arranged in three lines.
An actor, Quinlan, as Macbeth in a dark shot and illuminated by a blue light, facing 3/4 towards the audience, wearing a white shirt and a black jacket, grasping a crown on his head, with a grimace on his face.
An actor (Quinlan as Macbeth) stands facing away from the camera. He is wearing a black jacket. It is dark with a single spot shining from above. In front of him (rear of the stage) a number of shapes are pushing up against a translucent curtain. Some hand and arms and bodies are distinguishable but not clear behind the curtain.
A hand holding a "Macbeth" show program with the word Macbeth in a stylized font and a wiry crown above, all over a gloomy foggy landscape with destroyed castles.
Bike-cam video of a ride along a section of West 7th Ave, with the streets lined with pink-flowered trees
A photo of a road from the perspective of a person on a bike riding down the road. There are cars parked on both sides, and a brilliant blue sky above. And the street is lined with cherry trees in full blume with big puffy pink flowers.
