Out and About

If you've been following the last few posts, you'll likely have seen a lot of photographs of various areas around Nanaimo.  This is because my friend Bev and I are getting out and about, in an attempt to instill a bit of healthy living into an otherwise sedentary life (for my part) and for hers, well, its about getting out and sharing some quality time with her son and a friend.  Today, she grabbed her glam sunglasses and we headed out to Diver's Lake for a tramp around the marshy area.

Situated a the end of Black Frank's Drive .. and various other streets, if the truth be told, but that's the fun one to mention ... the walk straddles urban and natural areas.  We meandered past tennis courts and homes, spoke to a fisherman who'd just caught a fat rainbow trout for dinner, slushed through an off-leash area and inspected leaf casings and catkins in an attempt to call up hazy botanical classes.

Keep in mind that these pictures show an area very much inside the city proper.  All of them open up to a slightly larger version if you click on them.  Enjoy!
