Thursday/Friday combo

Yesterday, I was on a course off site of my normal workplace….on our break, I did a quick walk around the trail that goes around a nearby pitch and putt and small cemetery.   (amazing what I saw in half an hour) I also had a quick walk around a park which is beside the train station at…

Some of my favorites…

Spring is such a nice time of the year.  Today on my walks, I saw a bunch of my favorite things:  Snails, ladybugs, seagull shenanigans, gorgeous blooms and goslings.  Those, and more shots of the day are below.  (not sure if I’ll be able to post tomorrow, I’m working off site and it may be…

This is…..

..”my box”…. …”and my OTHER box”  (Neva loves boxes)… …so vibrant and pretty….. ….the rarely seen “hat tree” in full bloom….  LOL!….. ….a photo album and diary that was sitting on a bench that I walked by on my way to work.  I hope they somehow return to their owner…. …a ladybug with spots….. …and…

Mid Air Warfare

At lunchtime today, I whipped to the bird pond and back to get away from my computer and get some fresh air.  It was fairly standard, but, there was some amazing crow vs. seagull fights overhead.  I’m not exactly sure who was chasing who, and why, but it was crazy.  Here are my day’s shots…which…

Let the Wind Blow

Neva looked very pretty in a sunbeam this morning….. …I have a confession.  I LOVE street art.  The vibrant colours, the details, the locations and the almost “underground” feel to it fascinates me.  Dennis was working today, and after I dropped him off, I drove by an alley I’d never seen before.  I parked the…

Patched up and ready to fly

I have no idea how, because we live on the 4th floor of an apartment building, but somehow, we had a swirly little visitor on our deck this morning.  Snails are lovely….and looked very photogenic with our tacky garden ornament, on a mirror, and climbing on our cypress tree. This afternoon, Dennis and I attended…

Where did they go???

Well, the babies have flown the nest….it was fun to watch them grow, so godspeed little blackbirds, see you flying about! This little one was just flying from grass to grass while I walked, not sure if she was protecting out of nest babies (no fear, there was a path and water between us), or…

SO much bigger!

Sad news and good news at the little bird’s nest that I’ve been watching for a week now.  Looks like the three little babies have become two (that is the sad news), but the two that thrive seem well, and are getting bigger every time I see them. Here they are waiting for their lunch,…

Feathery Shenanigans….

…at the bird pond, in the inlet and up on wires.  Also posting some spring shots from my walk, but first….”Neva, look behind you!  Commissioner Gordon is sending you the Bat Signal”.  🙂 Random heart!

Oh Baby!

Neva was doing her best boudoir model pose last night.  AWW! Today’s photos are just an assortment of spring in Vancouver photos, taken when I took a quick walk at lunchtime, and took the LOOONG way home tonight.  Babies are showing up often.  This really is the most wonderful time of the year.  (sorry Andy…

A Whale of a Catch Up

Yesterday morning, when I was over at my Mom’s house, I went for a walk on the rocky beach at Mt. Douglas Park.  Here are a few shots from the walk….. …random heart….. …random mud art…. …random “owl” (well, I see an owl. 🙂 ) …my Mom’s adorable “neighbors”…. …We went thrifting and found (and…

Saturday Photo Dump from Mom’s

Hello from Victoria.  Just sharing a few shots from the day before I head back and hang out with my Mom.  They include shots of and from the ferry, my favorite sheep that aren’t far from my Mom’s home and Gordon Point, which is gorgeous.  Enjoy these, and I’ll be back on Monday.  Have a…
