I am retired and live on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. I am researching my family tree whose roots are in the UK and South Africa. I still have time to cook, bake sourdough bread, walk our two border collies and drink wine.

Forest bathing is good for you and one reason I love living in British Columbia 🇨🇦🌲
Enjoy the path you’ve taken today
A forest scene with moss covered logs and rocks to the left and a trail winding its way between the trees to the right.

On reflection today is a good day

My two dogs don’t mind the weather. Since you’re wondering it has been raining here in British Columbia 🌧️
I wish you a lovely day whatever your weather.
A border collie sitting with her tongue out. It seems like nothing is going through her mind. When sitting she just sits. I could learn a lot from her. A border collie sits and gives you a sideways look, perhaps you have treats or, better, a ball? His tongue is out in anticipation.

A favourite part of living in British Columbia is the chance to get out in nature.
I hope you managed to enjoy your day.

A trail in the forest winds off through the trees. There is sunlight filtered through the trees but the immediate foreground is in dappled shade.

The low, low sun is playing optical tricks.
Two shadows on the ground. On the right is the shadow of a person, the low sun has elongated the legs and body so the person seems freakishly tall. On the left there is the shadow of a dog’s head and it seems to be looking at the shadow’s legs. The real dog’s nose peeks out of the corner of the picture.

This tree is hanging onto its leaves, determined to show off in the autumn sunshine.
A Japanese maple showing off its bright red leaves on a bright autumn day. By contrast in front of the tree are the dark green leaves of evergreen bushes.

She’s wondering if you have treats or are going to play with her. Can you resist her?

Be the light in someone’s day.
A small fern is captured in sunlight with three branches spread out horizontally almost like helicopter blades. The background is in shadow with the base of a tree trunk rising up behind the fern.

A border collie in close up. He, for it is a male dog, is looking off to the right. He looks serious.

Wishing everyone has had a lovely day. Cheers!
A tall glass of amber liquid which I know to be beer. The glass says Saltspring Island Ales, though it may contain an ale from elsewhere. (It is probably an IPA as that would be my preference) It rests on a white surface and there are small blue and white tiles on the wall behind. There’s a window with a glimpse of what I know to be an umbrella.

A glass of what looks like and is beer sitting on a table. The beer is cloudy but the sun is shining.

Natures is healing
A trail curves off to the right with trees and ferns on both sides. Sunlight can be seen through the trees but the path is shady.

This is a view from Gibsons BC across to the north shore mountains.
A rock wall next to a beach at low tide. The blue water is still and has some small boats on it. There is an island on the right and in the distance there are mountains with low lying clouds.

These deer may be cute but gardeners know that they’re a nuisance.
