Wednesday was a delicious day. We went for a walk with our friends, and the forest was magnificent to see and to smell. It was just glorious in the sunshine. Then we came home, and I Zoomed with Dianne, whom I will visit in nearby Nanoose Bay in two weeks. By the time we had finished talking, it was time to feed the brood and have lunch.
I Zoomed with Steve as he works to finalize his plans to visit Pinecone Park. It was exciting to hear that he will stay a week with me. And as we were talking, Ron arrived to take Sheba for a lovely long walk in the forest while I had a short nap in the sunshine. When they came back, we puttered around a bit in the garden, and Sheba had a nice visit with Dave, next door.

This glorious morning, Sheba and I walked our usual path. Here are photos I took this morning. They will show you why I love living here. Imagine, having miles of trails like this that I have only 2 blocks to walk from our home for Her Highness and I to enjoy.

| We're walking in the 707 Park. Originally it was a park of 707 acres; it is now 1,000 acres, the same size as Stanley Park. |
 |
| I love the open meadows that we pass. The sign you see here is one of many scattered through the park to help you know where you are. |
 |
| Lovely Ferns cover the forest floor here and they are truly magnificent plants, that's why I have my own Fern Garden. |
 |
| The ground is covered with these tiny pink and white beauties. |
 |
| Little Daisies are everywhere. |
 |
| The Fox Gloves are just beginning to bloom. They are scattered everywhere in the 707. |
 |
| Magnificent Arbutus trees give the forest a lush jungle look, and their trunks (below) are just beautiful and so colourful. |
 |
| Vanilla plants are so named due to the fragrance of their blossoms. |
