Winter on Bowen Island

Printer-friendly version

Winter here is not nearly as exciting as in places where there is snow and people can ski or where it is cold enough that you can skate. Here, in the rain forest of the north-west, winter has many shades of grey and brown, but you can also find greens in the sword ferns, the moss and the little ferns all the way up maple trees. And then, when the sun comes out, the colours come back and we leave our houses to catch some sun rays and stand at the beach, watching the whitecaps on the water.
