I took last week off from work and my residency and spent a few days on Bowen Island with Boris and his family. It has been unrelentingly hot the last few weeks, and it was good to spent time walking in the forest, splashing in the ocean, napping in a cool place, and reading.

The view into Howe Sounds as the ferry departs from Horseshoe Bay.

A magnificent Banded Alder Borer beetle that caught a ride on Anne’s car.

Boris on the Secret Log which is surrounded by lush green water plants this time of year.

A hazy morning view across to the North Shore mountains from the Lagoon and other beautiful pictures can be found on this website here.
