In the wintry chill of New Year's Day afternoon we walked the trail to the beach from the Heritage Forest,  down to Sticks Allison road  and along the beach access. Its a favourite walk of ours particularly because of the way the little stream runs alongside the path. Where the trail opens to the sandstone shore, the fresh runoff of the stream fans  out onto the sandstone and joins the Salish Sea.

The photo above was taken when it was nearly dark, with just the dim available light. It was far too cold to set up tripod and adjust camera settings— fingers and toes were  quite thoroughly numb!! The result is, to me, a happy accident.
