White Rock beach has a new Christmas tree

This is the first year in ages that I didn't get to White Rock beach during the Christmas season. It's cold, and the snow is still lying quite thick in Surrey.

Today I did venture down, and saw this new tree of lights. It makes a nice change after the blue lights that fade year by year in the trees that flank the beach promenade.

It was a novel experience too, to drive by the Serpentine dike and see hockey players skating around.

In Vancouver, the Parks Board declared Trout Lake safe for skating a couple of days ago.

It's good to see the kids enjoying the ice, because based on experience, I'd say it's unlikely to last much longer.
