The Coquitlam River

Every weekend, my boyfriend and I take his dog for a walk. We usually go to the Coquitlam River, where there's not a lot of people and the scenery is pretty. In the fall you can see the salmon spawning in the river. 


On one side there's a park where people fly their model airplanes and on the other side there's a racetrack, where we usually enter the trail. Sometimes there's events at the racetrack, but there's another entrance to the park so you can avoid the chaos.


Harry, the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, loves exploring the trails and eating the long, green grass. The air smells crisp and sweet, and sometimes you can see a heron in the water. I once almost stepped on a snake there and there's a beaver dam down a different trail. You can also explore the river: there are little islands of rocks and you can wade across to each one and go fishing. 


I love the Coquitlam River. Here's some pictures I took this overcast morning:
