I forgot to show you this photo of a black bear sow and cub that I took when we were transiting from Lowe Inlet to Khutze Inlet in BC, because that was also the day of a zillion bubble feeding humpbacks, so it got left behind. Poor bears. I'm trying…

We left Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island this morning around 7:30am. Last night's dinner at the Hastings House Bistro with our friends Michael and Nancy was a great time! I'm so glad we were able to stop here and meet up with them before heading home. The sky was…

This morning in Lagoon Cove, Heidi (of Heidi and Lyle, who manage Lagoon Cove) invited a couple of us up to her garden to pick some fresh produce. Her house and its grounds are just lovely there on the hill overlooking the marina: Are you kidding me? SUCH a bonus.…
