Why You Should ALWAYS Carry Your Camera!

I drove around White Rock this evening to check out the small, unadvertised RV ‘parks’, take in the scenery, and watch the beginnings of a beautiful sunset over the Pacific Ocean. At one point, I turned onto what turned out to be a cul-de-sac ending with a circle for people to turn around. In the middle of the circle was a circle of grass in the middle of which was… a palm tree.

Geeze, had I known in June 2007 that there are palm trees in the GVR, I could have just stayed there instead of continuing on to San Francisco where I saw my first palm tree in its natural habitat!

I hope I can find the little guy again; he was short and squat and hardy… kind of like me. 😀

Walkabout

My whole life, I dreamt of living by the ocean, but it was the Atlantic I had in mind. The Pacific seemed too far away. So, I appreciate the fact that my first near-ocean home is by the Pacific! I love strolling on the beach near Peace Arch Park. This afternoon, I actually had the presence of mind to bring my camera:

The beautiful weather didn’t last. A storm rolled in very quickly and it got cold suddenly. I had a rather unpleasant walk home as it was spitting rain, but I was delighted to see that rain turn into big fluffy flakes of snow!

Back to rain now. 🙂
