Well, the ferries are still running though we have been told to stop travelling and socializing for the next 2 weeks (to try and get the Covid numbers down). So if you can get across the border you can come quarantine here as yet, TG. Thanks 💕
Thank you, Kim 💕 When I was at the park last, there were always small children (and parents) crowded around each one. This time I managed to get up close and personal to a few so was able to snap some pictures.
Very fitting, Deb, “see the beauty” “the great outdoors.” You are too close to the drop for me. I stopped breathing even looking at the photo. 😅 I have heard about the Fairy houses, yet never seen them in real life. I will need to head there one day and possibly meet these Fairies. Thank you for sharing your walk. Nice!
I wish you could too! But you can leave the pan at home. I did go out and buy one this week, when I had luck visiting a delightful kitchen/home store downtown Nanaimo. (Get thee behind me, Jeff Bezos! You tempting devil of my keyboard 😈). Thank you, Kari 💕
Hi Deb – reminders for me … a promenade along the seafront in Eastbourne isn’t quite the same – but no doubt the waters meet up occasionally – thinking about it … long way to meet up … Pacific to English Channel – perhaps not the greatest idea! Wonderful views and so pleased you’re wandering out and about – stay safe – all the best Hilary
Looks like a lot of Ontario Deb except we are getting a heck of a snowstorm at the moment. It isn’t terribly cold – around 0’C so it probably won’t last long. Enjoy your new territory and thank you for sharing.

Beautiful photos. I enjoy muted colors like the ones in your pics. I also like the “May we always walk together” idea on the inscribed stone. Words I try to live by.
Looking like a pretty good November life too! We’re nudging the mid 30’s this week (around 100’F) so my plans for walking this weekend may not happen. Wait and see if the forecast is correct.
What a gorgeous walk… love the stairs down, they are so inviting and the ducks and all the natural beauty. Perfect walk. Those fairy houses are so whimsical and light hearted. Gorgeous pics. Keep on enjoying….
Beautiful and peaceful looking. Maybe we should all be quarantined on Vancouver Island.

I’ll bet I can make it with a canoe.
Wonderful! A Tippy Canoe 🤣🤣🤣
😄
Gorgeous! Pre-pandemic, pandemic, or post-pandemic, life seems pretty good on Vancouver Island 🙂
Thank you Janis 💕 It truly is!
I LOVE that park. Wish that I was there with you!
Yes, definitely. Hopefully this small sacrifice will be worth it and soon we can hike together again. Thanks, Donna 💕
Great pics!
Thank you, Kate 💕
You and your camera takes us to very nice, relaxing places.
Thank you, Jean 💕
It looks super chill in a good way and no people!
Oh, there were plenty of people around but we all gave each other lots of space. Thanks, Bernie 💕
Glad that space as available. Best part of rural life is we always have space!
So true!
It seems we spent our Saturday in a similar way – rocks, trees, and water. Yes, it’s a good pandemic life on a November day 🙂
The best way to get through November (and December through October too 😁). Thanks, Joanne 💕
An excellent walk. I love the fairy houses!

Wow, beautiful place complete with fairy houses! A friend of mine has been making those to pass the time this year. I’ll be sharing the blog with her.
Great! I think it’s a wonderful idea for the little ones. Thanks, Tracey 💕

I was too close for me too, Erica! If you could have seen how far backwards I was leaning, in order to get that shot…🤣 Thank you 💕
I wish I could fling myself across the border. I would bring a springform pan.
I wish you could too! But you can leave the pan at home. I did go out and buy one this week, when I had luck visiting a delightful kitchen/home store downtown Nanaimo. (Get thee behind me, Jeff Bezos! You tempting devil of my keyboard 😈). Thank you, Kari 💕
Oh yes!! I love that! 🙂

Thank you very much, Hilary 💕 No doubt the waters do meet up and mingle eventually. Not recommended route for humans though 😉. Same to you!

Yes, I heard about your weather Leslie! Stay safe, and thanks for commenting! 💕

Agreed, Ally Bean! Great words to live by. Thank you 💕
I love every photo of you. Thanks for this opportunity to see a different side of Vancouver! Super!
Thank you😁 My photos are of Vancouver Island though, not Vancouver. That city is on the mainland of BC.
Gorgeous images of your surroundings! I loved the Harlequin Ducks! They’re on my Life list still to see.
Ahhhh, sorry Deborah! Your comment landed in Spam (why I have no idea) and I only found it just now. Thank you!
😍

Oh my! Stay cool, AJ! Thanks 💕
We are lucky to have so many beautiful parks along the ocean to explore. Neck Point is always beautiful, rain or shine.

This is the truth! Thanks, Jude 💕
