Bloody Tourists

He ran down the side of the house and across the front garden, I ran through the house, barefoot, across the driveway. He stopped for a short while to look at the car and the funny human with the camera.

Five point Friday

That's five points, not pints.

This chap strolled through the back yard this morning before breakfast and was civil enough to allow a photo or three. Something spooked him and he ran around to the front of the house. This is the pre-spooked portrait.

Crab Crunchies

A walk along the bay, rock pools abounded and every rock held a secret, this little guy was about a centimeter across, tiny. Stark contrast to what we witnessed the day before with large, two hundred centimeter crabs being extracted from a trap in the marina.

Ugly Duckling

This pretty little chap was amongst a large group of mallards on the lagoon, in addition there was a very elegant, and tame, swan who was very interested in what was going on.

Smaller, with red eyes and different colors from the "nomal" ducks, a young wood duck perhaps.

The Old Dorm

The reason we chose the Old Dorm was it's location, a ten minute walk from Snug Cove, it was an amazing bed and breakfast, very laid back, clean and modern with a fantastic, healthy breakfast. Highly recommended!

Snug Cove

This was our first visit to Bowen Island, an overnight stay in an oasis of tranquility. The smaller ferry took us into Snug Cove from Horseshoe Bay, a twenty minute journey and a feeling of a home away from home.


They had a little hydraulic issue with the ramp, that was sorted and we looked back at Horseshoe bay from the cove.
