About this photo: Everytime I turn on the radio or TV, look at my computer, my phone...it seems to be all about COVID-19. I hope all of you are safe and that your families are safe. In this part of Canada it's not too crazy yet, 1 person is in hospital and so far one resident passed away in a seniors home due to this virus, the rest that have tested positive so far are in self-isolation at home and getting better. We need to be prepared for what might come soon. I work as a nurse in senior care and hope it won't hit us. Keep your fingers crossed and we will do our best to be prepared for what might come. Most local events have been cancelled including sports and other big events. Schools are still open, but it is spring break next week and kids will be off for 2 weeks.

I am not necessarily staying home, but when I go out I try to avoid places that are crowded and instead I am out enjoying mother nature while I still can. Just to forget about everything for a little while. Stay safe everyone and I keep saying: "wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands"!!! I took this photo this morning at beautiful Deer Lake about 10 minutes from our place in Burnaby near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some information on Deer Lake Park: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Deer Lake is a relaxing 5 kilometre/3 mile walk around an urban lake just outside of Vancouver. The walking trail around the lake is good any time of year and is very popular with dog walkers in and around Burnaby. Trails in the park lead to a kids playground, washrooms, a boat launch and picnic tables. In the summer months Deer Lake Boat Rentals offers canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals. Gas or electric motors are not allowed on this lake.

Deer Lake is also home to the Burnaby Art Gallery, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby Village Museum and Century Gardens. The Burnaby Art Gallery manages the City of Burnaby's permanent art collection while the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is a multi-purpose community arts facility providing public exhibitions, performances, festivals and art classes. The Burnaby Village Museum depicts life in the area from the 1920's. They have reconstructed 31 full scale buildings over 10 acres, with staff in costumes like in the 1920's.

Deer Lake Park is a great place for outdoor activities and cultural life in Burnaby. Whether you want to visit an art gallery or see an outdoor concert, Deer Lake Park is the place you will find it. Your kids will love the park for the beach, the playground, the water activities and the Burnaby Village Museum. In the summer months the park comes alive with outdoor concerts and lake activities and in the off season it is a relaxing park to go for a quiet walk around the scenic trails.
