Chillin' in Steveston

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

 A rainbow cloud above us

Just driving through the neighborhood when I looked up and ...

Okay, it's nothing in comparison to the spectacular photographs on the Internet (go ahead and Google "rainbow cloud," i know you want to) - but this unfiltered, unenhanced photo is like nature winking at us and reminding us that, hey, life is truly a miracle!

I think we kind of forget that sometimes.

A Steveston sunset

What were you doing last Sunday evening?

Well, if you have a minute (well, 45 seconds to be precise), sit back and enjoy a uniquely Steveston sunset.

This video, shot from the outdoor patio of The Catch restaurant, captures the spirit of our village - the mighty Fraser River, bobbing fishing boats, festive twinkling fairy lights, inviting restaurants, and visitors and locals prowling for good food.

Sunset in Steveston.

Join me for a short sweet stroll while the sun is hovering above the horizon and bathing everything in a warm pink glow. Yes, the world is opening up slowly after the pandemic but I am in no big rush. There is enough beauty- and great food - in my neighborhood to nourish the body and soul.

 Sweet Steveston summer slumber

Nothing spells contentment like a cat stretching or snoozing on a sun-warmed patio - even though it took a while for him to find that perfect position where arthritis pain would loosen its grip and he could drift off to lala land.

Sleep tight, sweet kitty!
