A Moment of His Own

A town with Maureen Way would just not be complete without Bruce Avenue too, amirite?

Other than a super cool name, this street is urban and industrial with nothing of interest to show except trucks trundling up and down the avenue.

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!

Black Frank

I believe you've heard me talk about Frank Ney, Nanaimo's longtime mayor and colorful character.   If you don't recall, hit the link in his name.  Well, Frank has .. surprise, surprise ... a street named after him.  It's not a long or particularly ostentatious street, its' just normal except for Diver's Lake being at the end of it.

Forest News

It's Springtime in Sherwood  Forest ... the trees are absolutely bursting to show off their finery ...

They're putting on such a good show, I thought I'd share it with you.  =D
