An organic community garden

What lovely weather we're having - even though it's bordering on heatwave territory. I suppose we better prepair ourselved because it's only going to get hotter without much of a break in sight.

Sunday morning was sunny, the sky was a brilliant blue and a perfect breeze kept the opressive heat at bay.

I was delighted when we stopped by the Coquitlam Organic Community Garden. It was an eruption of greens with pockets of colourful flowers. Beautiful fresh grown foods nearly spilled over the garden allotments.

Afterward, we had a lovely coffee and cookies outside on a makeshift patio then headed home, taking a little side trip through the beautiful homes of Queen's Park. We both agreed that there was an adorable yellow cottage that we'd move into in a flash. 


Here are some of the shots.

Log Drives, Trees and People on a Sunny Summer Sunday

 Ooh, what a beautiful Summer Sunday we've been gifted with!
(I happily did none of the driving today. It's really not my cup of tea).

We started our day with a visit to a new-to-him coffee shop "Take THE Cake" in Queensboro, and sat out in the sun ion their patio, already feeling the sun's intense heat.

After our coffee, we did a couple of errands and swung by the river, onto a wooden platform overlooking the Fraser. Neither of us recall ever seeing the tide as low as it wat this morning. 

From there I took mostly random things that attracted my eye along our route home.
(Thus the subpar image quality, as usual)
