A refresher........

....I know it's been a while since I showed the glory of our little paradise on this planet, so here are a couple of views of the mainland from our little island which Wendy and I call home......the natural beauty of the Canadian west coast still hasn't lost its allure to me............ :o

Looking north up the channel towards Discovery Passage.........

Looking south through the Strait of Georgia towards Vancouver..........

I know how you mean that Sean. I left the concrete jungle of the Toronto area so I could come to this paradise........it's very calming for the aging process which we all must undergo if we are lucky enough to survive to a ripe old age....... 8-)

Thanks for the kind words guys, but alas.......today was the direct opposite.....heavy overcast, broke into sprinkles and then all-out rain ..........but even so, the next few days are supposed to be more like the average days for this season - fingers crossed....... ::)
