Lighthouse Park

On Saturday the weather was great and we were up & about quite early so we headed over to Lighthouse Park.

It was around 8.00am so the trails were still lovely and quiet, except for the raucous birdsong.

Then from Juniper Point we have this view North over West Vancouver Whytecliffe neighbourhood with the snowy peaks of the Sunshine Coast behind.

Mojo enjoyed his walk even though there weren’t as many dogs to play with as normal !

Then during the afternoon I held an open-house at a duplex in Central Lonsdale.  While the house and the open were uneventful it did afford some nice views of the North Shore mountains.
