Dusk at Goose Spit


Goose Spit is a narrow coastal strip of land at the end of the Comox Harbour.
It is a popular area for a variety of activities - walking, kite sailing, beach barbecues in Summer and the steps (100?) satisfy the needs of those more athletic individuals.

Looking across to the Beaufort Ranges

This is one of the summer barbecue pits


Here are the steps for those wanting to keep fit!

. . . but I think the dog's expression says it all !  ("Are we there yet??")

Thank you, James, for hosting
and happy weekend to all

Adventures in Canada

Arrived home (Adelaide, South Australia) a few days ago, after another wonderful adventure on Vancouver Island, British Columbia in Canada - this time for an amazing 3 months.
Since it wasn't easy for me to post photos to my blog site, thought I would begin playing "catch up" now. 
It was Summer when I arrived in Comox - 26C

 Comox Lake and Glacier

 Entrance to nearby Lazo Marsh woods

 One of several trails through the woods


 Another section of the trail

 I continue to be fascinated by the erectness and height of the trees!

 Signage at the entrance

 A pair of Bald Eagles adjacent to Lazo Beach

 A pretty growth of Poppies on a property fronting the beach


I anticipate resuming regular blog posts again, so you too (hopefully) can share in the delights of Vancouver Island, BC

With appreciation to the faithful team who keep
up and running !

Dusk


Dusk at Goose Spit in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island -
what a wonderful location to walk along and let the day's cares simply wash over one.
(Mind you - as a very thankful visitor to this piece of heaven, I had no cares, so instead just marvelled at the creation surrounding me!!)
 
Thank you Gemma, for hosting Monday Mellow Yellows
(wishing you a blessed Christmas)
