Deep Cove & Maplewood Flats - Round Two

We took our visitors (Dee & Bob) to some of our favourite haunts in the North Shore today (Sarah Spain, this itinerary may sound familiar to you...).

We began by circling Maplewood Flats, a hot spot for wildlife, before heading to Deep Cove, a stunning & popular village. Typically Deep Cove is a quiet place - today, it was packed - as locals competed to travel as far as possible in the cardboard boats they'd created (yep, that kind of contest draws a big crowd here).

We finished off with a trip up Seymour Mountain to check out the views over the city.

Still no bear sightings despite our best efforts. We'll continue on our quest. However we did spot pretty starfish:


Here is Bob, Dee & David chilling out in the Maplewood Flats...


I'll confess; the leaves weren't falling down around us. We staged our romantic scene:


A few birdies...there were many in Maplewood Flats...


An Osprey...our first sighting of one of these...
