L is for LOVELY

This week ABC Wednesday is brought to you by the Letter L - not only as for MOI (Leslie) but also for LOVELY as in the lovely weather we've had since the drought ended.  It had to be one of the worst summers I've spent here at home.  There was absolutely no respite, not even a drop of rain or drizzle and the heat was unbearable.  I don't know how people live in hot and humid climates! 

Anyway, I thought I'd bring you a few photos of my little corner of the world to show you how lovely it is right now.  My favourite place to be is near the water.

First up, here's a lovely little home-made sailboat that was docked at Wellington Point the other day.
And here's another little outboard motor boat that was hiding in the grasses and reeds down by Sharkey's Restaurant at their wharf.
Here's a shot of part of the river that runs through Ladner (OH! Another L word!)
Here is a shot across the water to the marina where lovely fishing boats are moored.
And finally, I just can't resist including a picture of my "granddog" Lucy and Tegan waiting patiently while I do my thing.
Thanks to the lovely Lady Nesbitt, the creator of ABCW, and to the likeable Lord Roger, our administrator.  Don't forget about the loyal team of ABCW'ers who leap from blog to blog to leave lovely comments for everyone.

  13. You could hold a caption contest with the expressions of the two waiting and adorable canines. The sail boat makes me wish to take a ride on the water.

  15. That is a lovely little sailboat. I probably could live with one that size, but Wayne is looking for something larger to put on Powell Lake. And this is only months after swearing, "No more boats!" Thanks for stopping by to comment today. - Margy
