  • Lake Louise

    It seemed like every tourist in the Banff area decided to visit Lake Louise today. It was busy!!! But, also beautiful. Someday, I went to spend the night at the Chateau Lake Louise.

  • Mt. Rundle and the Hoodoos

    Day two in Banff was a nice lazy morning and early afternoon, followed by watching the Canada Day Parade on Banff Avenue and then sightseeing around Banff after supper. Here’s Mt. Rundle and the Hoodoos…

  • Bow Lake

    This is the first full day of my annual camping adventure with Mom and Dad – this year we’re in Banff. We spent the day driving towards the Columbia Icefields and stopping for any promising photo opportunities. I’ll have a picture of a black bear I took with my Nikon d7000 to post when I…

  • Butchart Gardens Close-ups

    A few of my favourite shots from Butchart Gardens in Victoria….

  • walking to the beach

    There are a lot of beaches to check out between Sooke and Port Renfrew.  To get to most of them you have to walk through beautiful forests (downhill all the way, some of the uphill walks on the way back were a killer on the thighs!).

  • Shirley Delicious

    To get to Orveas Bay Resort you take a left turn at Shirley Delicious if you are coming from Sooke.  Shirley is the name of the district between Sooke and Jordan River, hence the name Shirley Delicious.  This little cafe is a gem. We passed by it several times before we stopped in and I’m…

  • You know you are having a relaxing vacation when….

    I’ve seen hummingbirds before, of course.  But, added up, over the course of six days at Orveas Bay, hours were spent just watching three hummingbirds come and go at the feeder. I didn’t realize how entertaining they can be – they chased each other away from the feeder and around the yard and then would…

  • anticipation

    These kids had such fun anticipating the waves and then running away from them, laughing the whole time.  The older girl never let go of their hands.  It was fun to watch.

  • featured daisy

    Since daisies are my favourite flowers, I was thrilled to see so many wild daisies at Orveas Bay Resort.  One morning I spent about an hour with my camera just trying to capture them in different ways.  Here’s one… ….and to continue from yesterday’s post, after I thought about what I wrote, I realized a…

  • travel musings

    I always think of going on vacation and coming home kind of like a new start.  It’s a chance to take a deep breath, see new sights, maybe experience new things, and maybe even come home with a new perspective on something that’s been on your mind.  My suitcase is neatly packed the night before…

  • Lunch Spot

    This was a scenic, unique place to eat lunch today! It’s at Botany Bay/Botanical Beach near Port Renfrew. There are two ways to reach it – you can take the rainforest trail until you reached the beach and then scamper up a few boulders or you could take the shoreline route which is shorter but…

  • I Heart Regina Cherry Blossoms

    A cherry blossom pic I took this morning, now I must start packing!
