Portland had mountains too. I wonder how I could arrange for some of them?<br /><br />me/nunly - I'm glad you liked them. It's pretty funny to go walking there on a weekend when people and their dogs are out walking . Much meeting, greeting, sniffing, and tail wagging goes on. Then there's the dogs.<br /><br />jams - Ah, we all pick and choose our best shots, don't we? It's nice enough but I've never lived anyplace I hated.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-50648210938778437662011-06-03T13:46:11.786-07:002011-06-03T13:46:11.786-07:00It certainly looks like a great place to live Susa...It certainly looks like a great place to live Susanjams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-22865988769932272372011-06-03T07:37:10.690-07:002011-06-03T07:37:10.690-07:00Great pics, thanks for bringing us along on your s...Great pics, thanks for bringing us along on your stroll. I'm particularly fond of seascapes. My dog would love to walk down that path, but I would have a hard time keeping her out of the water. <br /><br />I love it when winter is over and we can see all the new growth.

Luckily, my parents' home in Dublin is only a few minutes walk away from Dublin Bay. So I envy your access to the ocean a little :-) ...Francis Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422476000328664994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-21113614619286712682011-06-02T17:37:15.700-07:002011-06-02T17:37:15.700-07:00liberality - You're most welcome.

We've thought about moving further out of town because it would be cheaper to rent but then we'd be stuck having to use the car just to get to a place where we could walk, never mind shop for groceries. There never seems to be a happy medium.<br /><br />pagan sphinx - Maybe some nice curtains would help :-) I wish you really could have accompanied us.<br /><br />spadoman - This park is just a taste of a much wilder coastline along the larger part of the province. We're planning to see more of it now the good weather has arrived and I may take more pictures when we go. My camera just can't do justice to large expanses of natural beauty. I hope you and Mrs. Spado actually do get to travel to the Maritimes this year. We'd like to meet you.<br /><br />gfid - Ooops! You're right, of course. I just love the name of the place and had completely forgotten my Canadian geography. It sounds like the name of a place in the far north though, doesn't it? <br /><br />I've seen some pictures of nice places made from shipping containers but they're mostly in Europe. A few of them stacked together would be most cool. The beach house will take a lot of ReNewing.<br /><br />The smell of the sea and the flowering bushes didn't translate on blogger. Okay, no malls.<br /><br />ol'buzzard - You're welcome but I hope you don't mind if I don't do another selection for a while.<br /><br />randal - I'm glad you liked them. When I take the camera outside I can't see the screen at all so just point, let it auto focus, and click. If I take enough I get lucky with some. That particular tree is at least 60' tall and very stately.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-29417885120695602842011-06-02T12:08:27.690-07:002011-06-02T12:08:27.690-07:00Bored?

Quite similar to Northern California and Oregon's coast as far as large expanses of just beach, (more so in Cali than Oregon). I love the starkness of it. It's rugged because it's cold and uninviting to the multitudes of heat seeking tourists. The trees live on, but with a fragile existence. I guess I'm trying to explain something that I can't explain. (Talk about boring, that's me!)<br />Mrs. Spadoman and I are planning a trip this Fall to celebrate our 40 years of marriage. We will be returning to Niagara Falls via Canada for sure, but we are dreaming of visiting the Maritimes since we have wanted to for many years.<br />As far as Alberta? Well, the motorcycle becons and there might be a Summer trip in that direction as well, all the way to Prince Rupert.<br /><br />PeaceSpadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-62013865390877630492011-06-01T16:44:30.546-07:002011-06-01T16:44:30.546-07:00I think your seaside home prospect looks rather......I think your seaside home prospect looks rather...urr...quaint! ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for taking us along on your walk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-11538685088012148452011-06-01T14:41:45.940-07:002011-06-01T14:41:45.940-07:00I am thank you! :) What lovely walks you take.

Unfortunately, we live off a state road so if we tried to go for a walk we'd be run over I do believe.
