Another Dog Day... At Lighthouse Park



Today we took the dogs to Lighthouse Park in West Van. Honestly, this was no January weather, this was Spring. As I took a closer look at the deadened trees, small tinges of green seemed to creep up the bark similar to veins. This means Spring. Soon these veins will feed the leaves of summer, and I'm excited. We walked on dry ground towards the ocean.



Even in the shade of our temperate rain forest, I felt the warmth of summer's sun, but it wasn't until we reached the sun drenched beach that I really was able to appreciate our first day of Spring, sleeveless.

Bikini was able to finally take a dip in the water after a few dormant months, hibernating in our skybox we call home.
After chasing a stick for a few lengths, she was able to dry off by means of the sun.




Lighthouse Park has lots of walking trails. Some are great for dog walking, others aren't. There is a lot of Sandstone, which can be slippery, so many of the trails are enjoyed best in the sun. There are a ton of secluded spots for picnicking or just getting lost in. Easy trails for the most part. I recommend giving it a shot.
