Dancing with Nature in the gentle breeze and warm sunshine in Canada Branch

Yesterday, the sunshine was bright, and a gentle breeze blew. The sky was clear, with white clouds floating leisurely. The temperature was pleasant, and the air was refreshing. It was the perfect time for a spring outing. Since there was only one-family guest that day, our group of five chanyuan celestials decided to go on a spring outing by car. We drove for about 25 minutes to a lake named Greeny Lake. The lake water reflected the lush green trees on the shore, and there were a few small boats gently swaying in the middle of the lake, where locals were enjoying their leisure time. Some residents were fishing by the lake, creating a picturesque scene that was incredibly delightful.
Afterwards, we went to Timothy Lake Farm, which was about a 25-minute drive away. It is a family farm owned by a German couple in their sixties or seventies. They are very hardworking and capable. There are three or four greenhouses where they cultivate flourishing and vibrant flower and vegetable seedlings. Their house is a lakeside house situated on a gentle slope, facing the lake directly. The lawn is neatly trimmed and stretches all the way to the lakeshore. There is also a floating bridge extending onto the lake, standing on which makes you feel like you're in the middle of the lake. It was truly beautiful, and we took many photos there.
Finally, we drove to Timothy Mountain Ski Area, which is a nearby skiing destination. However, by the time we arrived, the snow had already melted. Nevertheless, we saw the structures of the ski resort, the numerous log houses that resembled the same as those in Canada Branch. They felt so familiar and charming, particularly the log cabins. We took some photos and then hurried away because there were several mosquito-infested low areas. We just had a quick glimpse of the summer ski resort, haha.
The day before yesterday evening, Xinrui and I went for a walk at Kokanee Bay Resort across from Canada Branch. We took photos of the lake view at dusk, and it was also incredibly beautiful. We also took some photos of Canada Branch during its most scenic season to share with our loved ones.
