A Hiking We Will Go Or Should That Be I Will Go

March 7th, 2010

Looking at my previous post which was quite awhile ago when the Olympic Torch passed through our local community. It actually started in Victoria, BC and was quite impressive, then traveled across the country and to parts far north.
People became quite emotional about it and the Olympic Games in Vancouver and Whistler, BC turned [...]

Don’t You Touch My Duckies!

June 11th, 2009

I went for a walk around Cedar Hill Golf Course the other day and decided to stop along the way and relax at a water spot.  It was fairly quiet with a few people stopping to enjoy the view.  It is kind of a duck world there as it was teeming with various duck couples [...]

Hiking Up Mt Doug from Cordova Bay Under Attack!

What Lies Beneath The Surface Makes For An Interesting Day

May 1st, 2009

What lies beneath the surface can be quite interesting.  On the recent trek to Cordova Bay I happened to see a small stream rushing towards the ocean. So I decided to take a few pictures and see how they would turn out.

I was not sure how the photos would turn out since the water [...]

Hidden Treasures of The Sea Of The Nasty Kind

April 29th, 2009

Yes you must pull back the covers sometimes to see what is hiding under them. Or you can [...]

Win A Trip For 2 To See Leonard Cohen In New York

March 16th, 2009

I had intended to post something else today but decided not to.  I will save that for another time.
A short while ago I picked up a passport application thinking I may need one this year to visit someone.  For some reason I just let it sit on my desk.   This past week it was [...]

Why Are Some People More Successful Than Others?

February 22nd, 2009

I was pondering discussing personal relationships but will perhaps save that for another lifetime.  Perhaps that is where the golden age will be.  I tend to be somewhat naive, sometimes putting too much faith or trust in someone,  or I am unaware at the best of times.  Perhaps just being plain stupid when it comes [...]

Beautiful Snow Covered Mountain View From Mt. Tolmie Victoria, BC

February 20th, 2009

I did a short hike up Mt. Tolmie this morning and took along my fujifilm camera to see what I could see and photograph from the top.
It is taken on a beautiful sunny day in Victoria, BC. Yes, that is a snow covered mountain to the east and the view from up there is [...]

OK, I am back.  Do not ask why or why I have waited this long to make another post.  Well no one is reading this blog so I am sure it does not matter!
I am going to post this with the featured song dedicated to someone, Don’t Be So Mean Jelly Bean.  You know who [...]
