More from California

As most of you know by now, we did a quick 8 day trip to California. We were in northern California as well as Southern California. We got to meet a blogger, as well as some of my good swim friends, spend some time seeing new sites and then family for my brother's wedding.

Here's a look at some of my favorite pics from the trip.

Our home of Victoria from above. Our home is close the harbor seen in this photo.

Flying into San Francisco was quite interesting seeing all of the wetlands colors, especially this green water. I was so interested in the layout of it all too.

We spent nearly 1 day in the Morro Bay Pismo area. Apparently people think it's a good idea to make the squirrels fat so that they beg for food instead of live life self sufficiently... I just shook my head in disgust.

Morro Rock in the early morning sun.

Down Santa Barbara reminded me of Vancouver's Steam Clock.
The colored buildings here were so beautiful. I'm sure I could have stayed a few hours taking photos but we were there for a walking excursion.

After arriving in Huntington Beach, we gathered and looked at old photos again. P had a blast hearing all of the stories about me.

A trip isn't complete without a shot of a few surfboards.

The venue of my brother's wedding. Mind you that this was during the rain that I took this photo. The grounds were so beautiful. I think it usually rains once in April and it happened to scare us the day before the wedding.

I'll work on editing and getting a few of the better pics up on Redbubble and Flickr.

Signs of Spring

The weather is finally changing up here in Victoria. We are getting slightly warmer weather and a bit of sunshine in between all of the clouds and wind.

Here are three of my favorite shots from the weekend. Ironically, my camera just quit. There's not one inch of a sign of life to it.. I'm scratching my head wondering... Any tips for a point and shoot Canon???

We did a lot of walking this weekend since the weather was so nice. Here are a few of the photos from our travels.

It's Spring

We officially had a day of spring feeling weather. Here are a few pics from yesterday.

The sun was shining brightly just for me, along with blue skies at the waterfront of North Van.


North Vancouver is growing a lot. They are starting to label it as the next Yale Town. An old shipping yard next to the newest building on Marine Drive.


We got out and walked along a new pier located next to Lonsdale Quay. The views were so beautiful and warm weather was aorund.
