Sun-bathed Trail at Piper's Lagoon

On this date in late November (2014-11-29) the sun makes a rare appearance.

Tugs at the Nanaimo Harbour Pier

I have a thing about boats. That is, I love taking pictures of boats. Thus, a trip to Nanaimo Harbour is always enjoyable. (2014-08-11)

Cedar - Beach at Raise Road

On this day (2017-06-13), I had once again consulted Theo Dombrowski's excellent Secret Beaches series for inspiration. The book didn't promise too much for this beach but, since visiting, I've decided it would make for a nice visit with our kayak. It should be noted, it's very easy to whiz by Raise Road. Also, there's not much parking. But, no matter, the walk to the sandstone shore is short and easy. On this day, the tide was reasonably low so there was plenty of sandstone surface to walk on. I'm not sure if I could recommend this surface when it's wet. I'd also be reluctant to try to get to the pebble beach in the picture if mobility is an issue. Hence my desire to revisit by kayak.

Nanaimo - Bowen Park

There's snow on the ground, in shady spots, this day in February. It would be wrong to let the weather prevent us from grabbing our fresh air quota. Bowen Park is always good for a walk....
