A friend posted some pictures of a beautiful park in Richmond recently on facebook. We were surprised this park exists in Richmond which we are not aware of it. So, one evening, we went for our evening walk at this gorgeous park.

Paulik Gardens Neighbourhood Park was known as Lulu, a Memory Garden.

This park is about people’s experiences of gardens. It has a wide variety of flowers which are in bloom in spring. I totally enjoy taking photos of the flowers for your enjoyment.

Spring finally arrived after a long winter. Suddenly, flowers appear everywhere with full force.

Early blooms of crocuses.

Snow drops.

New leaves appear on the bare trees.

Cherry blossoms. (more…)

Ben and I thought that we will not see snow in 2019. Then in February, we were blessed with three snow storms.

Here are some of the snow scenes.

A garden fountain filled with snow.

A field of snow. (more…)

Ben, Nanzaro and I spent the Christmas evening at the Lights of Lafarge.

This is a free event. We wished we have something like that in Minoru Park.

This is merely a photo blog. Enjoy the rest of it.

A dragon fly, I presumed.

Christmas elf. (more…)

Ben and I intended to go for a hike at the Admiralty Point Park on a Saturday. But Ben dilly-dallied after he woke up and only ready for the journey at 10:00AM. He changed his plan as it’s too late for the hike.

We went to Lafarge Lake for a walk instead. Lafarge Lake is a man-made lake located in Town Centre Park in central Coquitlam.

The fall foliage adds colour to the park.

We saw a group of people having a picnic under this canopy. (more…)

On the Labour Day long weekend, Nanzaro, Ben and I decided to go for a hike at Belcara Regional Park. We could not get a parking spot at our earlier attempt this summer.

So, this time we headed out early, at 7:00am. There were plenty of parking this time.


We did 3 trails this time; the Woodhaven Loop Trail, Woodhaven Swamp Loop Trail and the Sesamat Lake Loop Trail.

I was a little concern with the above signage.

It was very peaceful and quiet when we arrived at the White Pine Beach. (more…)

Every year, Ben and I will go to the Celebration of Light Festival in Vancouver. It is one of the summer highlight in Vancouver.

This year, we decided to watch it from English Bay. We found parking at West 8th Avenue and Hemlock St. and walked all the way to English Bay. The above photo was a scene taken from the Burrard Street Bridge with English Bay in view.

A sunset view with some Canadian geese swimming along the water.

Initially, we settled on a long near the water. After some thought, we changed our mind as we worried the tide will come in later into the evening. We moved on and found a spot on a grassy area. We laid down our blanket and sat down to watch the sunset and people watching as more and more people started to trickle in.

As Ben rested on the blanket, I took a stroll along the beach. I saw a lot of inuksuit built on the rocks by the beach.

The exhibition took place in the Central Atrium at Aberdeen Centre on June 2nd & 3rd, 2018.

The fountain makes a great backdrop for the display.

The sound of splashing waters adds serenity to the atmosphere. (more…)
