MY SUMMER MEMORIES are a nice break from the winter chill and happen to contain several words beginning with the letter “B”. While driving to my brother's home in Sechelt last August, we saw various creative seating options at bus stops on the highway. The office chair is one of my favorites.
Along the way we also saw a bed planted in the front yard of a Bed & Breakfast establishment.
There was no vacancy. But across the street there was another spontaneously placed chair by a bus stop with a view of Davis Bay.
Davis Bay is a small waterfront town in the District of Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast. By most accounts, the sun does shine a little brighter in this part of the mainland accessed by large ferries that transport vehicles and people along the Gulf of Georgia to difficult-to-reach havens in southwest British Columbia.
You would think the sea was no more than an oversized bathtub to play in the way these boys gleefully leapt off the wharf with fearless abandon. The boy (above) was a second away from taking a backward splash into the bay.

Oh, lovely, especially the last photo, a definite reminder that summer does exist.
ReplyDeleteThe Sunshine Coast truly is a beautiful place, full of people with creative ideas.
Luv, K
Great choices for the letter B.
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of seating arrangements you found.
It looks like a beautiful area.
Nice pics,that blue sea looks lovely.Love Jill xx
ReplyDeleteI like to see good seating options for waiting on the bus and all of the shots are very appealing.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a well placed seat. The bed is interesting, I've seen a lot of unusual objects planted up but that is a first.

I've noticed those chairs and other decorations along the road around there. I think it's quite fascinating and have stopped to take photos, too!

I love these bus stop chairs! There is something rather quaint and creative about the whole idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat variety of interesting scenes! How creative is that "garden bed"! Fantastic literal interpretation of the term becomes creatively inspired!

I like your B choices, especially the bed of flowers.
ReplyDeleteI chuckled when I saw thy had taken a plant-bed literally:)
ReplyDeletevery nice...i love the bed as a planter.:p
ReplyDeleteNice letter B post! Our colder winter than usual has gotten much colder today. The warmth and brightness brought by you, Penelops, is a help. I like a waterfront town and I’d like to have a break on that bench at the Bay feeling the sea breeze. You show that you’re good at finding somewhat weird things from time to time. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and one BRAVE jump! I wouldn't / couldn't do that.
ReplyDeleteI like the creative use of seating at the bus stops. And the bed frame in the garden. Sunshine coast is a beautiful setting for sure. For some reason your blog did not show up on my list of blogs. Will look into it. Was wondering why you have not posted any new ones since last week. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteLove the feel of these photos - all seem friendly and inviting. Love the bed at the bed and breakfast!
ReplyDeleteI love those whimsical seating options. I don't know how the kids play for hours in the ocean, to me it is so darn cold.
ReplyDeleteHello Penelope,
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but this post didn't show up at the side of my "favourite blogs" list. That office chair is priceless, and the bed is a very creative way of advertising one's bed and breakfast. What a good idea to go back to warmer days, and remember that they will soon be here again. My first cherry blossom sighting, believe it or not, was on January 10th. It's been a bit gloomy lately, but that will just make us appreciate the good times ahead all the more :)
