Deer on the Hill

A young deer gave us a wide berth on the hill, it was the second we have seen in two days. It won't be long before the bears start making trouble, they're already plundering garbage cans.

Lunch at the Black Bean

The great thing about the long walk down is that the Black Bean Coffee house gets in the way and you have to go in and have lunch, today we fought over a Yummy Veggie sandwich, lovingly split for the pair of us cheapskates. Avocado, grilled peppers, two different cheeses, eggplant, artichoke, romaine, mustard and mayo all on a hearty multigrain bread.

Also, to make sure we ate all our veggies, a cranberry-mandarin muffin sat temptingly on the side...

Den Oever

We actually saw the boat arrive when we were drinking merrily at Gramma's pub on Friday, today, while we were down at the wharf, I thought this was too good a picture to ignore.

The ship, the Den Oever, shares it's name with a village in the Dutch province of North Holland.

Marine Drive Wildflower

A beautiful day today, a nice long walk down to Marine Drive and a bunch of pictures for the blog.

Five Women in a boat...

Christie, Catherine, Norma, Karen and Yanira. Howe Sound today, beautiful people, beautiful place.

Supermoon

I have not checked, but in the same spot we saw an owl. Tonight there is going to be a supermoon, or so they say, and Karen jumped up and said "look, an owl" and once again, as a yearly ritual it seems, I ran out barefoot and took a picture.

He looked at me a few times and then decided "I'm off" while Karen watched from the upstairs window.
