Merry Christmas and a Happy 2015 New Year!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone, I wish you all the best, the brightest with a sprinkle of creativity!

At the end of the year we all think about the past year and try to understand what was most important. It just so happens that, for me, every single day was of utmost importance. Family, work, studies, friends - everything and everyone whom I love, filled my days with great joy. What else is there to wish for? To find balance and harmony, with enough strength and energy to share with everyone and everything. That I wish to you all!!! And yet the world of good, well-being and health. And as it was once said by the Strugatsky brothers: "Happiness, to all! Chargeless! And none shall leave in sorrow!"

And now, a bit of my own happiness for you, catch ...

My holidays in BC

This holiday was planned by  my husband in April. Designated campsites, hotels were booked in advance. We heard a lot about BC. However, we didn't have an opportunity to visit the province.





The trip was planned with a few stops. First stop - Okanagan Lake. Where are my husband and son  showed "Show kebabs." The kebabs were ... yummy.

Then we rushed to the City of Victoria, which can be reached only by ferry.
We had a lot of walking around the Victoria city, visited museums. There were so many all kinds of trees, shrubs, flowers, everything is bright and fresh.


One day we got to the beach... beach of my dreams. We walked two kilometers along the rein forest on the prepared trail. However, the place was creepy and very strange . Sometimes trail was springy underfoot. When we got to the beach... we  forgot everything in the world: the cities, cars, mortgage, and so on... not very important things that filled our poor heads. We just wanted to watch, listen waves...






The next day we had planned to walk to the famous Butchart Gardens. There were many people, but the gardens were so beautiful. Day trip, concert and night trip...and no mosquitoes!








Then again, the ferry and we were in Vancouver.







My husband  made surprise for them. The cup of tea on a board.





And then  we were in the Park of Suspension Bridges.






By the way, we loved the hotel, which was located on the third floor of the market. The building was built on the historic market place on the bay.



In Vancouver Aquarium we all turned into children.








On the way back,  we stayed again by the Lake Okanagan. It was very hot. 




Vacation is over. Now,  I have another part of my summer: study and work.

At the end of  August  I am going to work on the schedule and the program for my students.  I hope that my students have their great summer with wonderful impressions that we will put on a paper and canvas.

To be continued ...

Yours Alla.
