Two Gaze Upon The Sea

On our way back home from Victoria, we stopped in Richmond which is just south of Vancouver. M grew up there and we took a little tour around to his old teenage haunts.
The seafront has an eclectic mix of fishing vessels, sail boats, restaurants, coffee shops and townhomes.
After the wind storm that walloped Victoria and Vancouver had died off, the weather was gorgeous with a flat ocean calm and clear, sunny skies.
The weather was so good, in fact, that I spotted someone paddling an ocean kayak (the small red vessel toward the mid-right of the photo).
Sunny December days are a gift and we certainly enjoyed this one, especially after the weekend’s storm.
Happy Monday.
We awoke to a very windy day. The ocean was extremely churned up and lots of surf was being flung about.
With the gale gusting to about 80 km (50 mi) we definitely needed raincoats against the wind-whipped spray.
Although it was windy the temperature was about 9C (48F) and it wasn’t raining, so in a good windbreaker/raincoat, I was comfortable.
I found a group of periwinkle flowers growing in a rock garden next to the ocean, but despite being soaked by seawater they seemed completely unperturbed.
I very much enjoyed watching the surf and listening to its pounding roar – the heart of all life on earth.
Happy Sunday.
We are taking a mini-break holiday to Victoria which is on Vancouver Island, an hour-and-half by ferry from Vancouver. We had the most beautiful day for the drive through the mountains and then for the ferry trip.
Happy Thursday.

The Pacific Ocean disappears into the horizon off the west coast of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia.
The ocean has always caused me to feel the vast sweep of time and power of the universe, and with them, a great appreciation and gratitude for my limited existence in the here and now.
Happy Thursday.

A beautiful picture of the French coast from Tricia at Travels Through My Lens. France is renowned for its food, wine and historical sites, but much of its scenery, especially its coastal scenery, is stunning. To see more of Tricia’s lovely photography, please click the link above.
