Today was one of those perfect October days. Clear blue skies…short sleeve shirt temperatures…orange & yellow leaves falling everywhere…a perfect day to be outside. I knew I was enjoying one of those last perfect weather days of the year…but I didn’t realize just how special it was until I saw the news tonight and saw 20cm of snow in Calgary. Yes, I LOVE living on the edge of the Pacific Ocean!<\/p>\n

Luckily, I attended an event in Roberts Creek this afternoon which got me out of the house and all the potential garden chores that I could have been focused on for the day. I made a special point of stopping by Roberts Creek Provincial Park<\/a> on my way home. This is a lovely picnic area with ocean view tables and plenty of grassy area for kids to run and play. \u00a0I discovered it a few years ago in winter<\/a>. The best part, is quick and easy access to the beach. This afternoon I had it all to myself. Seated on a huge piece of driftwood, jacket off & sunglasses on….this was my view to the left…<\/p>\n

and to the right (see what I mean about huge pieces of driftwood)….\"RC<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

and nothing but the waves of the Pacific rolling in straight ahead. \u00a0My spot was facing west into the sun, so I couldn’t get any good photos of Vancouver Island in the distance. Such a <\/em>welcome change after a week of mostly fog that has kept the sun hidden.<\/p>\n

I only wish I had brought a book along….I might have stayed for an hour. It felt so good to soak up some sun and listen to the waves crash. The water is so clear here…you could literally see inside the wave to the rocks below as they rolled in. Yes, this was the end of October on a Canadian beach….pretty darn special. A perfect afternoon on the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n
