Steveston through a different lens

For most locals, Steveston is just a beloved village we call home. It has wonderful nooks and crannies and many well-preserved historical sites.

But lets imagine our familiar village through a different lens.

What would the neighbourhood look like when captured on canvas by an impressionist painter?

Have a look at these images and tell me what you think... It was a purely fun what-if project that I hope would bring a smile to your face.

 Chillin' in Steveston

Happy New Year 2022 from what feels like the coldest, snowiest corner of Lulu Island.

 Happy Halloween (2020) from the fine folks in Steveston

On October 28, I posted a video showing Steveston's businesses in full Halloween display.

A few days later, on my customary walkabout, I noted that local residents, not to be outdone, had also done a remarkable job in sprucing up their front doors and lawns to reflect the spookiest night of the year, some starting in daylight and lasting late into the night.

Kudos to everyone who made Halloween 2020 so special and putting a smile on everyone's lips - even though you can't really see them behind those masks.

As the chilly weather descends upon us and neighbourhood trees prepare to shed their leaves, I find myself constantly snapping photos. May be because I want to remember 2020 as the year like no other.

I hope you get a chance to venture out and enjoy the golds, reds, and browns of autumn.
