Welcome to Blue Monday with Sally and all those who love the colour of blue.
I am just getting back into a normal routine again after being on holidays for a month and this is my first Blue Monday post in a couple of weeks.
Oftentimes, on a pleasant evening, Hubby and I will go down to the waterfront at Victoria Park, sit in our car, drink coffee, and watch the sail boats in the harbour. There is a boardwalk too and there are people of every size and shape out walking on that boardwalk with their dogs of every size and shape.
It keeps us fairly entertained!
Between the drive and the area used for bikes, skateboarders, and runners, is a long line of street lamps with a garden built around each one. By the end of the summer, the vines will have grown to the top of the poles.
There are blue sails and sails of every other colour out there on the water. They are so beautiful to watch. Most evenings, there is a gentleman who sets up these rocks like sentinels all along the boardwalk. It is quite an artform but I forget what it is called.
There are barrels of flowers decorating the backs of benches that are every few yards along the boardwalk to sit yourself down on.
And there are always the boats; very relaxing to watch, as you sip on your coffee and count your blessings.

ReplyDeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteI have you listed under Rose Chintz Cottage & Inspirations on the link list on my sidebar. Did I put down the wrong name? If so, just give me a holler and I will correct it.
So glad you joined!

Hi Sandy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Wish I could be here to relax. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful, beautiful place! It would be hard to be "blue" for real there with so much to admire and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOn Whidbey Island there is also a gentleman who stacks rocks. He said they are "cairns" but some people insist space aliens are doing it.
Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, I'm a summer baby and the water is my soul mate (smile)

Always, China
