Decor options

While exploring the town of Courtenay in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island late last year, I was delighted to discover TAB Imports, a store offering a fabulous range of décor options.

 

 

. . . and this sign totally expresses my experience of life on Vancouver Island !!

"C to C" = Comox to Courtenay on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

 

The following images were captured from the vehicular & pedestrian bridge I crossed several times a week as I headed off on another adventure exploring the island.

As can be seen, it was Fall and I never tired of the colours that greeted me each day.

 

Well time to sign off for 2016 - what a year of extraordinary experiences!

Have been greatly blessed with exciting travel opportunities, resulting in the forging of new friendships and greater appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

 

To cap off the year's adventures, am just about to head off for a 3-hour

kayak outing around Garden Island in the Port River (South Australia) with a good photography friend - stay tuned!!

 

Wishing my fellow bloggers a very happy, safe and healthy 2017.

With grateful thanks to James for hosting Weekend Reflection

Floating leaves

After an exhilarating (and first ever) 2 hour kayak outing (solo),

I spotted these leaves floating on the water above the boat ramp and simply enjoyed the splash of colour!

 

Joining in the fun at Weekend Reflection

of reflective images he discovers and creates.  Thank you James for providing

and maintaining this outlet for fellow photographers worldwide.

Wishing you and yours an especially joy-filled Christmas.

Courtenay & Royston

Now, continuing the journey of discovering the delights of Vancouver Island . . . .

 

I came across Air Force Bay in Courtenay which I understand is also the area from which various sea planes take off. It was a glorious and comfortably warm day, and the well made

walking trail along the bay beckoned.

 

There were wild berries in abundance - not only here, but throughout my 6 week travels around the centre of the island.

 

I didn't spot the creator of this amazing piece of engineering!

 



A significant community project is currently underway to restore the Salt Marsh Lagoon for

marine life connectivity

Courtenay River Walk

 

Within a short drive I was in Royston and there in the bay were these shipwrecks,

the fascinating story behind which you can read at
