Nanaimo
Blue skies, clouds, and trees in bloom. We took the ferry to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island today and had a pleasant walk along the harbour with lovely views of the sea and the mountains. And of course, the trees in … Continue reading
A Walk Along the River
We were back in Vancouver again and went for a long walk along the river in a local park. It is one of the things we always do when we visit. The leaves are coming out and the trees are … Continue reading

Spring is on the way here, but it can’t come soon enough for me. There aren’t any flowers outside, but the orchids are still blooming inside. But it doesn’t really matter, because two days from now we will be in … Continue reading
Packing
We’re getting ready for our next trip. A very long trip. Just shy of 24 hours from takeoff, to touchdown at our destination in Auckland New Zealand. If you measure door to door, it is even more. I’m tired just … Continue reading
Flowers
We don’t often travel in the summer because we prefer to stay home and enjoy the garden. (It’s so nice here in the summer – not so much in the winter…). But we made an exception this year and we … Continue reading
