Low-Water Level at Bowen Park

I went for a short walk in Bowen Park this morning and noticed that the water level in the Millstone River was very low. At one point, following the sound of trickling water, I went off the main pathway onto what I thought was a trail but it eventually dead-ended, so I turned around.

As I did that, I surprised a young man who said he was doing some carving, seated in a space between some large rocks. Actually, I think we surprised each other. Once we had said “hello” and assured ourselves neither of us was a threat, I went on my way. I never did see what he was carving.

Bowen Park After a Rainstorm

I enjoyed a lovely walk in Bowen Park, Nanaimo, this morning. We have had heavy rain for a few days so it was nice to be able to get out and about again. The wet leaves on the trail made walking a little tricky, but it was otherwise fine and a delight to see the river so full.
