Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
How are you all doing today?
I spent much of the day at Lafarge Lake with a dear friend of mine. We spent the time walking around the lake and sitting and admiring the ducks. I was so busy catching up with her that I didn't do a very good job of taking photos but I did manage a few.
It was a fabulous day for an outing. The sun was shining brightly even though some of my photos look like we were expecting rain. We weren't but it's still a bit windy and chilly in the shade.
The remaining days of the week are expected to get progressively warmer.
Lafarge Lake is a 5 hectare man made lake located in Town Center Park in Coquitlam. It is very easily accessed via the Skytrain and adjacent to the Douglas College campus. In winter there is a fabulous light display which you can partake of for free. I meant to go with dear hubby this past Christmas but he got busy with work and I didn't wish to go alone. Perhaps it will work out for Christmas 2024.
I've read that it's a very popular and crowded event. I suppose because it's a free event and there is plenty of parking. There is also a fabulous Evergreen Cultural Centre nearby and a brand new community centre will open in a few days. This is a great place for one but I think families with children would especially appreciate the convenience factor.
