Not photogenic ?!?!

Debra feels that the camera doesn't like her! This camera (and its owner) has a crush on her!!

Winter is coming...

Today, tomorrow and Friday are ok, but look at Sunday and Monday!! Brrrrrrrr

Johnson Street Bridge aka the "Blue Bridge"

As we were walking home from our morning breakfast, we were treated to a sailboat activating the Blue Bridge. The City of Victoria is voting in a referendum next week to borrow $49 million dollars to replace the bridge. Read the story here.

Lest We Forget

Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Cenotaph on the grounds of the Parliament Buildings.

The 21 gun salute.

One of the guns firing.

Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary

We missed our morning walk today. You would think with the extra hour of sleep we'd be raring to go, but instead we both had the " I feel like I've been hit by a truck" feeling. So after church and some yummy lunch we headed off towards Swan Lake. The trails were somewhat muddy from all the rain last night, but it was a nice quiet walk. These first three pictures are of the Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary.

Debra really liked these little crab apples. Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

Chintz & Co.

After breakfast we popped into Chintz & Co. What a great store. We both love this mirror, wonder how hard it would be to make one ourselves? We may find out.......

Down by the Railyards development

We walk past these native plants along the Galloping Goose trail. They seemed especially pretty today.

Fall leaves

Yes it is that time of year again. We run the lawnmover over all the leaves and it makes great compost. Today we had a high of 16 degrees in the sunshine. If fall could only stay like this. Sigh.

Foggy Victoria morning

On our morning walk looking up Maddock Avenue. We have had very few foggy mornings this fall. Let's see what La Nina brings this winter. Cold and snow??

Karma looks thrilled

The things we do with our pets!
