Lily Lake

This city I live in...has many special places to go to...when you need centering
or need to get away from the traffic and busyness. There are lovely paths where
you can walk by the water...with the mountains across the way...lifting your
spirits. There are viewing places...from which you can get exquisite views of parts
of this mountain and ocean country. Then there are places...somewhat hidden away
...even in the heart of the city...where you can feel you are somewhere out in the
countryside. One such place...after a walk through straight...tall...trees...is
Beaver Lake...in Stanley Park...it's surface covered with water lily pads...and
ducks...revelling in their pretty surroundings...no doubt well supplied with food
and lily leaves to rest on...when they are no longer hungry. Of course...it's
special to go there when the lilies are in bloom...as when this picture was
taken...probably...on a lyrical day in summer.............Quester.
