A sign of the times...

Cruising aboard our classic Chris Craft  is a great way to enjoy the quiet life.
The ocean tides lull one to sleep and relaxation is a sure thing.
With plenty of time for reflection and book reading one does need to make the effort to move the body. Daily swimming, kayaking are weather dependent so walking is my favourite option.
I like to walk on the beach and explore the areas surrounding the marinas and marine parks.

I was not expecting to have my walks curtailed because of this...


I thought it might be safer to explore the docks and gardens of the local houseboats.
I'd be scared stiff to encounter a large black bear.


A sunny planting
I am particularly fond of this foliage
nature looks like she has been painting the leaves.


Any chance that Johnny Depp is about?
I'd love to catch a glimpse of him!


This industrious honey bee is collecting pollen on this allium alba.


I followed an interesting walkabout 
dotted with metal sculptures...
someone has been very crafty and creative recycling all this metal.







Have a Happy Friday
it's the gateway to the weekend.

What are your plans fro the weekend?

My husband and I are belatedly celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary 
(July 20th)
with dinner out 
which just happens to be at a restaurant with a water view
and while it might be onboard our boat
it's not!

Happy Wedding Anniversary! I hope dinner is romantic and delicious and that you two get the best table in the house.

I think that metal sculpture with the green face is cool.

Beware of the bear or bears! xo, A

How lovely to be aboard a boat, so perfect for this time of year. Glad that you stayed away from the bear, they can be very dangerous! Happy Anniversary.

Hello Hostess
I've missed your blog due to moving and internet hassles so I'll be tickled pink if this comment gets through.
Happy belated Anniversary to you and Mr HHB.

Happy anniversary! Those are some huge hex nuts in the sculpture. My plan is to stay off the computer for the weekend.
