Greetings all – just a quick note to those of you so kind as to visit and especially comment on my postings. We have unexpectedly been blessed with a farm sitter, so have decided to take a rather spur of the moment trip to points south and west. In other words – so we’re shortly heading out on a camping/hiking trip to beautiful Long Beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island. We are leaving all electronics behind, so the blog shall fall silent for a while – maybe a week or a bit longer?
I’ve got a great big pile of books to take along for these ever-earlier-dark autumn evenings, and lots of batteries for my reading light, so will be back with an even longer “must review” list.
Leaving you all with a glimpse of one of my favourite new bridges, the soaring Golden Ears span over the Fraser River heading towards Vancouver, which we may or may not pass over this trip, depending on traffic levels and our ever-changing route plans. (It was also the only vaguely “coastal” image I could find quickly on my camera card this afternoon, before wiping it clean for the next go-round.)
Ciao!
Leaves & Pages 
Wonderful. Long Beach at any season.
(But when do the storms begin?)
I’m jealous, because we just cancelled our Algonquin Park canoe trip, due to projected rain ALL week, for ALL Ontario.
It is wonderful out there any time of the year! We’ve had grand luck in September – still warm & often quite sunny. The storms really get going in the winter months, November-February. Not so nice for camping, though – too darned wet. Those visits need a cozy room with a fireplace. 🙂
So sorry about your cancelled trip. It must be getting lovely now with the leaves starting to turn – thinking you’re seeing some colour where you are – ours in the BC interior are well on their way to full autumn splendour.
Here’s hoping for a country-wide long, warm, sunny Indian Summer!
Have a fabulous time!
Thank you, Claire. It was fun, with a twist, as I’ve related in my last post. Already planning the next trip, though!
