What a difference a day makes.


Yesterday was mild, so I took Wendy and Trey for a walk to Rainbow Haven.  I haven't been there often enough lately.  Not sure why.


The ocean has been very loud these past few days.  High winds far out at sea and the in-coming tide push the waves  higher and farther in.  I was glad I was wearing my rubber boots as one second I was standing on a wide expanse of beach, and the next I was ankle deep in water.  


The day started out misty and foggy, but mild.  Oh, so mild !


The front part of Rainbow Haven consists of a long beach that is reached by two scenic boardwalks. In the summer the building in the background (in the video below) houses a canteen, lifeguard quarters and washrooms.


What a difference a day makes !

Today dawned much colder and bit snowy.   We headed to the "Secret Beach", an unnamed hidden beach, marked only by a gravel lay-by, that is even closer to my home than Rainbow Haven.


Many folk in Eastern Passage don't even know that this lovely spot exists -- and I'm not telling them !   That'll teach 'em not to read my Blog.  ;-)  


A lovely slope, criss-crossed with easy-to-walk paths present an impressive view of the ocean.

Here, let me show you:


You don't blame me for keeping it secret, do you ?

  5. How cool is this? You've shared a SECRET with us! (I liked hearing your voice, too.) It was hard, though, trying to translate 5-6 km from your house into miles. Do you know how many miles it might be?

    1. It's not far at all Kathy. Maybe 4 miles. Km are smaller. One km is .6 of a mile.

      When you come for a visit -- I said WHEN -- I'll take you there.
