photo walk: beach avenue

Since moving down to the beach I've become an explorer of sorts. I walk the seawall at least twice a week (10 km!) and my eyes scan every nook and cranny of the neighbourhood - for what, I don't know. I just seem to walk around like a sponge, taking in all the sights and sounds and wonderfully beachy smells. It occurred to me to start chronicling these adventures on foot with a series of photo walks and, as it seems fitting, I'm going to start with my street and the strip of beach that lies directly outside my front door. Enjoy!











{I told this little bug the photo was going to be on the internet, and he made me re-take it three times}

Gorgeous pictures! Funny, I just saw that stone tower on The Bachelorette when Jillian visited her hometown (Vancouver).
