The Ocean

On Sunday we took a drive about the West Shore communities. The development in the commercial areas has been just booming in the last few years, along with new roads and much beautification and landscaping of the boulevards. When we lived out there it was just a little wide spot on the road.. 20 years makes a lot of difference. We stopped for a look at Langford Lake. It looks rather like a big weedy slough. The cottages in the area look just a bit down at the heel, too. No doubt, it will get a facelift, soon, too. Then we drove out to the area where the big development is going to be where the gravel pit is now. There are some little pockets of development with big new houses. Some with some terrific views. We went home past the Esquimalt Lagoon, where we stopped while I took wave pictures!! Lots and lots of wave pictures. I love the ocean. It was great being out in the refreshing, cool breeze with the smell of the ocean.
