It's in the details

Some images from Artisan Square above Snug Cove on Bowen Island; the birdhouses and birdcages were in Silver Fern Florist Home / Garden, one of those garden shops from which I would like one (or two) of everything. Cocoa West chocolatiers and cafe served up an excellent cappuccino, complete with a water chaser. Their ice cream was also delicious. I sat on the patio and watched the twinkling fairy lights in the Japanese maple, seen in the top photo (can you see the fairy lights?)

So all you trekkers hiking up Mt Gardiner: when you've finished your climb, refresh yourselves at Artisan Square before you walk down the steps to the ferry. The views from the square are also spectacular.
