The Gibsons Seawall & The Before I Die Wall

On Sunday I took a trip down into Gibsons and, after hearing about the new addition to the Seawall, I had to go down and explore it.  I love walking down there, there are some fantastic murals, a great waterfall, and tons of beautiful flowers out in full bloom at this time of year....

 and then there are the ships in the marina....

And of course one of the things I wanted most to see, the Before I Die Wall.  This is an amazing wall that I had first heard about last year when I still lived in Alberta when this link about it got shared with me....

I was very touched by this concept, so when I heard that there was one that had been put up here in Gibsons, I had to rush down to go check it out, even if it was pouring down rain.  Here are a few photos I took of our little Before I Die wall here, I cannot wait to make more trips down there while it is up and keep checking out the new additions to it as time goes on.  I also was amazed to find out this morning, that they also posted a wall in Vancouver....so be sure to keep your eyes peeled! You never know where one might pop up!

So out of curiosity, what would you add to this great bucket-list wall?  

A Trip to the Mainland

Last weekend I got the chance to sneak on over to the lower mainland to visit with my family! It was a blast and a much needed mini holiday for sure!  My weekend started out with an amazing ferry ride over to vancouver...... is it any wonder I love living on the coast so much? ;)

A Spring Fling Saturday Walk in Snicket Park

Yesterday was the Sechelt Shops Spring Fling and first day of the Sechelt Farmers and Artisans Market and it was GORGEOUS outside!  After strolling along the shops and checking out the fun, music, bubbles and great artisans & shops - I took a relaxing stroll in the sunshine along the beach!  It was great to see everyone out and about enjoying the sunshine too.... Especially the fur-kids! <3

A Spring Stroll on the Beach

Wednesday I took some time to enjoy the really amazing spring weather and took a sunshine filled stroll along the beach at Snicket Park.  It was amazing and I was far from the only one out and about enjoying one of the first really amazing days of spring!  Here are a few of the fun in the sun filled photos I took along my way.  I hope you enjoy them!  

A walk in Gibsons in the Sunshine

I love walking along the beach and warf in Gibsons and checking out all the unique local shops and checking out the amazing food from the local restaurants.  Here are a few photographs as I took a walk along the warf last month.  I hope you enjoy the photos and can understand why I love walking there so much.

Roberts Creek Beach on Christmas Day 2011

On my way to Christmas dinner, we got stuck in a short line up due to a downed tree, so I took the opportunity to take a few quick photographs of the sun setting as we walked along the beach in Roberts Creek.  One thing I love about being on the coast is that everyone always chips in.  When the tree was in the way no one waited for someone to come out and fix it, no one screamed or shouted or were upset; they simply rolled up their sleeves and pulled out a few chain saws and fixed the problem.  It was a very short wait thanks to everyone pitching in.  We had an amazing day and this was a great start to the evening.  I hope you enjoy them too.

Porpoise Bay & Sechelt Marsh

These were all taken behind my new home on the Sunshine Coast.  Some are from Porpoise Bay and some are from across the street from it at the Sechelt Marsh.  Both are wonderful and peaceful places for me to visit and I always enjoy a stroll through both.  I hope you enjoy the photos! There will, undoubtedly be many more photos from these locations to come in the future, so keep your eyes peeled!
