Steveston - British Columbia

Low clouds float right across the bay

The Fraser River, strong and grey

Where sands and rocks show at low tide

From Garry Point Park, Nature’s pride.

 

Memorial to those lost at sea

Heritage site – a cannery

Where sockeye salmon breathed their last …

But such exciting days are past.

 

Steveston - a mere four blocks wide

Where Vancouver people like to drive

For fresh air, postcards, fish and chips

Boardwalk pleasures, one-day trips …

 

Bird life stunning, seagull cries

Sun-dried logs on every side

Ski-slope signs on mountain slopes

In the harbour, bobbing boats …

 

A tug, bright yellow, breaks the spell

Offshore winds mean kites fly well

A laid-back life style far from stress

And, at the moment, my new nest!
