Vacation Day 6: White Rock

I'm eager to get through the rest of the vacation pics, so these remaining two posts will be picture-heavy.

On Tuesday June 6th we all went to White Rock, a favourite spot of theirs. I could see why, it's lovely. Touristy and busy, of course. It's home to Canada's longest pier, something I didn't realize.

I don't know if this eagle was just too close to the crow's nest, or if the eagle actually got an egg or chick but oh, this crow was UNHAPPY! S/he kept dive-bombing the eagle, while the eagle remained indifferent. I was at full zoom on the little point and shoot, so it was challenging to get even a semi-clear snapshot. Eventually the eagle went on his way and things quieted down.

The white rock in White Rock?  :-)

I did walk all the way out to the very end of the pier and back. Dad had stayed put on the main street, and his wife had gone off at her (almost) power walking pace to do her 8+ kilometers.

I wanted to walk out to the pier because that's really the only spot from which I could get a snapshot of Mount Baker (U.S.). Even on a hazy day it was impressive.

I don't know who had placed a Canadian flag at the end of the pier, or how long it had been there.

Heading back.

Across from the water, along the main street with its shops and cafés, is where the stairs are located (previously posted in June).

That was our visit to White Rock. I'd have loved to have stopped in café and had something to eat, but that wasn't on the agenda. I think Dad would have been amenable, but it wasn't in his wife's plan.

Instead, we stopped at a shopping area in Surrey on the way home, as they both had a few errands to run.

Cute decor in-between the shops and restaurants.

The market we went into had a lovely floral department, far nicer than that of any of the stores here.

Below: This was just part of the vintage room in the nearby liquor store. The vintage sections in our local liquor stores consist of a few shelves. (Nobody purchased anything in the shop. I think Dad's wife was looking for something in particular, but didn't find what she wanted.)

That was vacation day 6. Next up is day 7: Boundary Bay and the Secret Garden, then a few pics of the Indigenous sculptures in the Tsawwassen mall.

Thanks for indulging me!  :-)
