Evening walk at Davis Bay...

Sean was home early enough from covering a local council meeting to suggest a walk down at Davis Bay :) I grabbed my camera and tripod and off we went.

It was beautiful down there - tide was either on its way in our out (can't say for sure), but the water was calm and the temperature just perfect. We walked along to the first major bend, then set up the tripod, so I could take a pic of the sun going down:



Here's a view looking the other way - you can see the colour on the logs - so beautiful and I love that my DSLR can pick up such subtleties:



Alongside the path are gorgeous flower beds, so I turned on my macro feature:

As we wandered back towards the car, we noticed a mama duck with ducklings in tow (yet another occasion I longed for a telephoto lens):

The colour in the sky looking towards the south end of Vancouver Island was beautiful too:

Look how peaceful the water was - we truly do live in paradise here:

Hope you enjoyed this brief interlude :)

Long weekend on the Coast...

Wow, what a week! We've had lots of visitors, including my former sister in law (mother to our older niece) and her fiance, Sean's cousin and her boyfriend and last, but not leasst, my brother and sister in law and our youngest nephew. Plus, our said older niece was here for over a week.

Last Thursday, when Sean's cousin and her boyfriend were here, we had a campfire, accompanied by the most spectacular sunset:

And have a look at the blossoms on my mother in law's silk tree:

Not that we spent all our time visiting. We were over at the house Saturday and Sunday painting the storage room:

And we weren't the only ones working this weekend - the flooring guys were there too. So now we have a kitchen floor :)

while much of the prep work for the hallway and bathroom floors has been done as well:

This week the rest of the flooring should be finished, along with the ceiling (here it is half done):

& cabinetry and we hope the doors will also be delivered (we still have the temp ones up).

And, here are a couple of photos of the cats, just for good measure:
