Ever discover something gem like in your world, something that you never realized was there, all this time that you have lived in the area?
I had my first "almost real" photo shoot yesterday. And when I asked the family about favorite places they mentioned Crescent Park.
All this time that I drove by this glorious huge, undiscovered, amazing park, all those years. Why didn't anyone mention this to me? I know that we have two amazing beaches, and they tend to be the hot spots in White Rock, South Surrey, but this park, amazing. And it's only 15 minutes from our place.
It has a duck pond! OK! I am in! Me and duck ponds, we are like this, [crossed fingers]. Ducks!!!!!
It has trails, and playgrounds, and acres and acres of fields, and apparently a rope course. All undiscovered by us, all this time.
I can hardly wait to go back and explore, hard to believe it has been there all this time.
Quack! Quack!
Have you discovered any gems in your area, after a long time of living there? Tell me.

Just this weekend, I discovered Trout Lake Park. I'd heard of it, but I'd never been. It's fabulous and there are loads of happy dogs running around and playing in the lake. Saturdays there's a Farmer's Market and it's wonderful. (Although I think it may be moving inside soon for the winter months.)
ReplyDeleteWe just discovered a hiking trail nearby our house last fall. It was amazingly close and we can't believe we past it by for 11 years. It has amazing crystal formations and now we go there a lot. Love this post.

Isn't it just delightful when that happens ?
ReplyDeleteI keep on discovering new hiking paths out in the woods. Or how beautiful slugs look. Or how the leaves look like green stars...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful treasure you have discovered Jen! Your photos are just great. I recently re-discovered a greenway trail in my hometown that is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Amazing to see the improvements made thru the years and looks like a great place for wildlife photography. Enjoy your day - I loved this post.
ReplyDeleteProbably need to pay a little more attention around here too.
ReplyDeleteIm constantly finding places like this that arent too far away, i just never knew about them! We have a waterfall an hour away...A WATERFALL! How could I not have known that?
ReplyDeleteThat's great. I haven't discovered anywhere new round here - I'll have to start looking.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what we can miss even when we live a lifetime in an area. I think everyone should take the challenge to find something new in their area at least once every couple of months. There is always something new, be it a place or an event. Go Explore! Congrats on finding a new place to go play and explore.
ReplyDeleteI think this is like when we have guests from out of town and we take them to some interesting beautiful places but left on our own we never go to them.
ReplyDeleteI'll just say I haven't discovered mine yet.
ReplyDeleteWe love to go for Sunday rides..but we do them other days too..it is surprising what you can find. Sometimes we take roads because we have never been on them before..adventerous aren't we..if you ever hear of two old people and a dog lost for days in Minnesota..that would be us! :) :)
