Tree Fungus

We saw this tree fungus on one of our morning walks.  It is quite pretty so we thought we might share it with you.

Dragon Boat Festival

I met Trista in Cook Street Village, a short walk from her house.  We drove to the harbour to watch a few of the dragon boat races, take in the crowds and some of the festivities.  The picture of the drummers is not that good but they were great! 

Victoria Shamrocks Awards Lunheon

As you might be aware from other posts on lacrosse that we have put up, Clayton and I are the Twitter Masters for the Victoria Shamrocks. Being part of the "team" we were invited to the Awards Luncheon with the management, coaches, trainers and players.  Unfortunately for the Shamrocks, they were swept in the first round of the playoffs.  It is weird not watching lacrosse in Victoria past mid-August as this team was tipped to get to the finals and perhaps even the Mann Cup. Oh well, there is always next year. 

Willows Beach Oak Bay

Debra and I were out hitting garage sales in Oak Bay and dropped by Willows Beach to use the facilities.  It is a great spot with a nice sandy beach and shallow water which is great for kids. 

Hot Air Balloons - Edmonton

From Murr in Edmonton: Attached is a picture greeting me on my bike ride into work this morning.   Neat watching them float out of the river valley.

Tall Ship Pallada

Trista and I took in an Imax film "Born to be wild" and then walked to the harbour to have a look at the latest Tall Ship to dock in the Inner Harbour.  This one is the Pallada.

Away game against Langley Thunder

I flew with the team for Game 2 of the Western Lacrosse Association semi-final Shamrocks v Thunder. This picture is at the airport in Pitt Meadows. 

Happy Birthday Murr!

Murr was at the Edmonton Eskimos game at Commonwealth Stadium and sent this picture.  Hope you had a great birthday Murray.

Just in time for the long weekend
