I went to Vancouver yesterday all day and I had a wonderful time there. Yes, Jen we do need more excitement here for sure! But we have the nature on our side to be explored.
One of the problems of living next to a big city Jen is that the major sites and attractions are located downtown. We do have sites and attractions in Surrey but when you live here you don't think of them because you see them all the time. Visitors would think that we have sites and attractions though. I will ask Barbara to email us some pictures of her artwork. Dad
Hi Jen I live on the side of a mountain in Kelowna where the major attractions are chipmunks, deer, colourful birds, trees and wildflowers! These are the things I love, the things where I find great beauty. I take a lot of photographs, many of them right through my windows! I have them playing on a large digital photo screen. Photography is art. Nature is perfect and gives us something new every day. Just choosing what to include in a photo is an artistic decision and makes our photography personal. Even the sky and weather make the most beautiful photos. I'll send you some of my favourites. I began painting only 4 years ago in my retirement. I'm really a beginner and not very good, but I love painting and spend many enjoyable hours doing it. It doesn't matter if it's not very good, it's the pleasure we get from creating something new that's important. I haven't done many paintings but I'll send you what I have. I'm getting ready to begin a new one soon. I want to try painting a portrait. A new adventure! Keep creating and writing Jen! Barbara

There's actually lots to see in Surrey now. There's a great path to go on at Blackie Spit and Crescent Beach (in my humble opinion).
