We're fortunate to have been invited by my husband's family to spend long weekends this summer at their cabin on Thetis Island.
I will write more about their lovely home, (cabin may not be the best descriptive word!),
and their generous, outgoing natures in a later post.
However, as I seem to be tardy posting of late, I am including just a few of the small touches that charmed me on the island visits.
The sweet window box and weathered red bench are just a few of the special touches that dot their property at every turn of the path.
I am always
delighted by
the Arbutus trees that
grow in the
dry southeast
regions of
Vancouver Island
and the
Gulf Islands.
The photographer in
me goes mad at the
colour and
texture
of its bark.
I have very few
people pictures
of those weekends,
but numerous shots
of
Arbutus trees!
My favourite time of the day has always been twilight....it takes on a magical quality while snuggled into a chaise lounge on this deck, watching the sun make its final descent behind the mountains.
I will write more about our visit soon, but am now linking this to ABC Wednesday, a wonderful même that showcases photos from around the world. Do pop in for a peek...
