Filling the Cart

This guy has his own way of shopping. Now with the garbage strike on in Vancouver and all the dumpsters locked, what will these binners do?

Ferry

BC Ferries welcomes you aboard! How many times have I heard that! This is the ferry between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay in Nanaimo.

Jack

Jack was posing for me up in the tree on the beach. Isn't he cute? He reminds me so much of Neil when he was little.

Good looking bunch of kids!

Peepin' Through The Porthole

I took this of Neil as he was looking out over the ocean on the car deck of the ferry. It was a beautiful day and the sea breeze felt so wonderful!

Waiting to Relax

This was taken just before the wedding while looking out over the estuary in Comox towards Goose Spit. I miss this view!

Donna and Crafties

Here is a picture of Donna with my "Crafties". The actual name of our group is the "Crafty Bitches", but quite frankly, none of us are bitchy! LOL....They are a good looking bunch aren't they? We all lived within a few steps of each other when we lived on the island, so they ladies watched Donna grow up from the time she was 9 to the young lady she is now.

Mr. Bojangles

This is another of the street musicians on Granville Island. He was singing Mr. Bojangles, which is a great song, but always makes me feel kind of sad.

Star Shell

I love all things pretaining to the ocean. These colours and the way this ceramic star lay on the blue sand, caught my eye.

Crow

This is kind of an odd picture, but I liked the idea of this crow sitting on this sculpture at Van Dusen. I fiddled with this a bit to make the crow stand out and the rest blurry. Not the best photo - but not the worst either

Anchors Aweigh

A hidden gem in a courtyard on Granville Island. I love how the water looks like it is dancing!

Carl Linnaeus

Carl Linnaeus is the Father of Taxonomy. Whatever the heck that is! Actually I know, but don't feel like explaining it here. Anyway - he was Swedish and kind of cute, so I had to take his picture. Donna snapped one of me kissing him on the cheek, but I haven't seen it yet.

Korean Pavillion

This is the roof of the Korean Pavillion at Van Dusen Gardens. I had not seen it on my previous visit, but the colours certainly are beautiful!

Is there a pot of gold?

This fountain is in the middle of the small lake at Van Dusen. I missed it last time I was there, but with Donna's expert direction, we found it this time. We just happened to catch the sun in the right spot to make a small little rainbow.

Waterfall

This waterfall is in Van Dusen Gardens, which we went to visit today. It was a beautiful day and very cool and relaxing sitting near the waterfall listening to the water splashing on the rocks.

Duck

I had to get pretty up close and personal to get this shot of the duck. Fortunately I didn't fall in the pond, which could have been a possibility!

Reaching Out

I have always liked these wooden sculptures at the airport, but have never taken a picture of them.

Gong

This is another photo from Spiritland at Van Dusen Gardens. I really loved the feel of peace and solitude of this particular display. The bamboo leaves rustling in the wind and the soft tinkle of a wind chime....

I Got My Eye On You

Believe it or not - this photo was taken at the airport. It caught my eye as I was standing waiting for my friend to arrive and I just had to snap it.

Pink Rose

Here I am again with my taking pictures of flowers obsession! I would have liked the center to be a little clearer but I think I need a tripod to hold the camera a little more still.
