Frozen Water falling from the Sky

A freezing blast of Winter has hit B.C. with lots of snow and icy winter temperatures.
For a region that usually enjoys temperate rainforest conditions, we are not used to this type of craziness. We don't have to shovel rain!
And rain is what we are used to!

We have outdoor Exercise equipment we can enjoy any season of the year. Usually wet from rain!

Boardwalk on Mill Lake to take walks along. Usually ducks swimming alongside.

A little punch of colour is always nice in a world suddenly white.

Kariton Art Gallery situated right in the middle of the park. You can picnic here even in winter if you want.

Lots of tables to choose from.

Or benches to sit and enjoy.
Rotary Crossing Playground is empty of children playing. I think all the kids are sliding down hills.

Schools close here when snow flies. Kids like that a lot!


The dock in the main parking area of Mill Lake has the only patch of unfrozen water. The ducks have to swim somewhere!

Cannot imagine floating around in that frigid cold water like these ducks are doing!

I guess the water conditions are not conducive to swimming, being the lake is frozen!

Frozen like this!

Watery Wednesday with Midweek Blues


It was a beautiful warm sunny day last weekend for the Harrison Hotsprings Dragonboat Festival. Here are some photos of the races on the lake that day!







These photos from start to finish depict the end of one of the races. The dragonboats one by one going over the finish line.
