This week I took a mini-vacation to one of my favourite places, Steveston, BC. It is a historic fishing village turned into a great getaway, film location (Once Upon a Time and the upcoming Psycho prequel to name a few), place to live, and a fishing village.
Nearby Garry Point Park is a great place for walking, picture taking, and boat watching at the mouth of the mighty Fraser River.

Take a realistic look at life in a remote location where you make your own power, live in harmony with nature, and determine your own destiny. Read Off the Grid by Wayne J. Lutz and see how it works for a couple living in a Coastal BC float cabin.
It's one of our favourite spots to go in the summer to sit in the shade of the trees near the water. Have a merry Christmas, Margy.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and post.. no mushrooms in Ohio.. just snow today LOL.. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you my lunatic young brother rode his bicycle from 5th & Main in Vancouver to Steveston last summer, to decide if he wanted to try riding it all the way home to White Rock?
ReplyDeleteHe said, "Well, Steveston is a really nice place to go to." Um, yep, right, that's true.
But he only took one picture with his cell phone, to prove to us he'd done it.
I love the fact that you take mini-vacations there, Margy. Not far away in miles or kilometers, but far away in many more meaningful ways.*

Looks like a fabulous place for a mini vacation! Stunning sunset photos too!
ReplyDeleteStunning shots, Margy!
ReplyDeleteLeslie - Mine too, but I also like the off season without all the crowds.
ReplyDeleteKay - A bit crazy with all the traffic, but there are lots of bike riders in Vancouver. I heard on the news that the mayor said that clearing bike lanes after a snow storm is going to be a bigger priority. Probably to avoid having so many cars slipping and sliding on the roads.
Thanks everyone for stopping by to comment on my Skywatch post this week.
