Typical Hike Scenery, Sunshine Coast, BC
The biggest influence on my work is without doubt this beautiful area I am fortunate enough to live in. The ocean, the beaches, the rugged shores, and the forests.
I try to go for at least a walk everyday, regardless of the weather conditions. And once or twice a week, I strive to go for a real hike.
Lately Mount Elphinstone has been the target. This is a huge area and it is absolutely littered with hiking trails-- from easy to ouch, from short to as long as you want.
Yesterday we enjoyed one of my favourite hikes-- a favourite even though I had only been on it one time before. Just the right amount of up and down (nothing lung breaking), no other people, a decent length for an afternoon (2 1/2 hours, including 20 minutes for a nice picnic lunch).
Nothing refreshes me and inspires me like a good hike in our woods.
