Kelowna - Turkey Vulture

Karen insisted that we drive fifteen kilometers to find the best goat cheese that Kelowna had to offer, so of course, we did. As we left the place (with a bag full of various cheesey goodness) we noticed a turkey vulture on a lamp standard, sitting there like a pigeon. So, of course, photo's were in order...

Just one cornetto....

Here's a nice shot of my young lady, I'm jammed in at the back trying to maneuver the canoe while juggling with the camera, the dry bag and my paddle and fortunately, managed to capture a great picture as we drift slightly out of control towards the Shelter Islands along the shores of Keats.

Karen is crackers

Sorry, should have said "Karen is eating crackers" - here with Jess over at Plumper Cove on Friday.

Bear doing his rounds

I managed to snap this blurred shot of "our" bear in the back yard this evening, Karen shouted that he was out in the front yard and I raced down the stairs and of course, taking a photo through the downstairs back window, especially in the fading light of the evening, results in something like this:

He has an injured paw, was not limping as much today, which is a good sign and it is obvious that he is putting some weight on as he prepares for the winter. 

August Clean Up on Keats Island

Hanson Marine got involved with the big clean up over on Keats Island last month, quite a few of the larger items stayed on the float for a few days.

Townhouse Progress

The houses down at the base of Crucil are now pretty much completed, all they have to do now is sell them. We know they have sold two so far (there are four in the picture and eight in total) - they are a bit on the expensive side at just under $400,000 bucks.
