Island Travels

My one week trip to visit friends and relatives on Vancouver Island was all I could have hoped for and more. We wandered through Beacon Hill Park and enjoyed the brilliant colors of the flowers there.
We stopped on Gonzales hill to capture the view.
We visited Elk Lake where we had learned to swim.

A Willows Beach walk is always lovely.
The fog lifted as we walked down to the beach
at Point No Point.
French Beach is a perfect place for a long walk.

Whiffen Spit is a place of family memories.
The view of Clover Point from Dallas Road is always breathtaking...
by the sea - by the sea - by the beautiful sea...
I had a wonderful time in the sunshine and salt air!

If you'd like to see some beautiful mosaics visit Mary at her Little Red House when you have time.

    I'm back in the setting of your photos, and while I miss the little ones, it's good to be home. Island weather today was sunny and breezy, and definitely still summery. Glad you had such a lovely time!

    Oh Sheila those photos brought back some wonderful memories, I spent a summer in Nanaimo many years ago and still remember how beautiful the island is.
    Have a super week....

    I'd love the opportunity of visiting Vancouver Island one day! It looks so beautiful! I'm glad you also had a nice vacation. We were away for two weeks and it has taken me a few days to get back to reality :)
