New additions

This young one was very interested in the pair of us, allowed us to get very close on the pier in Gibsons, in the background, the new addition to the pier, the float plane float.

The boat came back

Another year and that familiar boat has returned. On Friday we paddled around the boat, it was a beautiful paddling morning, we stayed out for a couple of hours with a very happy crew.

Goslings

Over on Granville Island, a month ago, more little goslings than could be counted on one hand...

Baby Birds

There are babies everywhere and much activity with smaller birds dive bombing bigger birds who are after the little ones as a nice crunchy snack, here, on our bird bath a couple of baby crows are nagging their mother to share the food.

Huli Day

Today, Sunday, was Huli day down at Armours Beach, we willingly dunked ourselves in the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean (and actually had a lot of fun doing it) and then came home, still with our feathers ruffled, and celebrated by bottling the latest batch of beer.

Forty-three 500ml bottles of Cooper's Real Ale, ready to drink today and better in a week's time.

We're off for the second celebration to the Blackfish now.

Concrete Donkey

I was sat out on the picnic table early this morning talking to this young buck in my pajamas (I was wearing the pajamas, not the deer) and he decided to take a look at the concrete donkey.
