One of my favourite places to
walk is in Ladner Harbour Park. Depending on how long you have, you could spend 20 minutes or several hours here. For a brisk
walk, stay on the main trail and go all the way to the end and back in less than 30 minutes! If you really want to explore, then take the tiny, narrow off-trails (as long as you don't mind bending under branches or brushing them and bushes aside) and you'll discover boundless beauty! I live in
what is considered a "village," although there is quite a large population here. However, just a quick 5-minute drive from home is this
wonderful paradise with trees that must be hundreds of years old, lots of
wild flowers and birds like robins, sparrows,
woodpeckers, eagles, and owls. One morning, I even spotted a Great Horned Owl. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera
with me because I could have captured a great shot - it just calmly looked down at me from its perch and slowly blinked!
This
week, I decided to take you all on a
walk through the
woods. Some spots can be a bit spooky, but don't
worry. Stick
with me and I'll get you safely through. It
will be
worth it. Tegan enjoyed coming
with me but was pretty
worn out from the
walk.
But before the show, we must thank the
warmhearted and
whimsical Mrs. Nesbitt, the creator of ABCW, and the
wacky yet
winsome Roger, our current administrator.
We welcome all newcomers at any time, but do let your friends know about ABC
Wednesday in case they want to start in on our new round coming up soon! Now, on
with the show! Don't forget to turn up your sound - it's
worth it because the music creates ambience.

Thank you so much for the wonderful walk in the woods. I enjoyed being with you and seeing these beautiful corners and lanes in your forest.

Wonderful shots from your walks in the woods.
I did enjoy the music along my walk. I almost expected the fairies to come out to play too. How wonderful to have this close by.

I always enjoy your slideshows.

You can't beat a nice walk amongst nature.
I too had a dog who followed along when we lived in the country. We were fortunate enough to be able to plant enough trees on our property that a woods developed. (We lived there for 27 years; we planted most of the trees our first two summers there.)
Is this woods on your property or near you?
a walk in the woods should be a mandatory prescription for whatever ails a person (in addition to whatever drugs they want you to take).

A lovely walk -- and Yanni-type music too!
A pleasant wander through the woods, looks the perfect dog walk. I imagine the treat log is a favourite place for Tegan.
Walking is the most healing thing a person can do, and such a lovely walk to share in photos with you. I'll put Ladner Park on my to-do list for the next time I am on the mainland.
Loved the music and the walk in cool green woods.
What a Wonderful Way to experience "W"
I love walking in the bush, sometimes in winter. Now with my camera.
Sounds a lovely walk- way to go!
Thanks for taking us on such a nice walk.
Oh that's a lovely walk Leslie, somewhere I would enjoy.xx
Walking is best exercise.
Lovely! What a fun way to share your photos!
Walking in the woods is fun especially when you take your children and pets.
