Mount Douglas Maples

During the fall I always try to get out to Mount Douglas Park in order to see the wonderful carpet of leaves that are shed by the giant Bigleaf Maples.

Those Autumn Leaves

Well, with what's happening on the east coast of North America in the last few days it would be ungrateful of me to complain of our weather - especially since we had some sunny skies yesterday.

Boo!

It's that time again! Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite part of Halloween I think. - Fern

Follow the Leader

Walking home along the Songhees Walkway, this gaggle of geese passed me just as calm and self assured as can be. It amazes me how tame urban wildlife has become in recent years. - Fern

Delhi Street Scene

Our weather has been so unremittingly dark and wet lately that I've really been longing for some sunshine and warmth. As I result I present today for "Somewhere Saturday" a street scene I snapped in Delhi a couple of years ago because it's full of sunshine and the relaxed attitudes that are expressive of life in a warm environment. It's also got lots of nice details that I like - such as the bicycle rickshaw man coming up over the hill, the ice cream and popsicle seller, the glorious bush of bouganvillea and the perfectly relaxed attitude of the seated man in the lower left. Delhi is noisy and hectic but I always find when I slow down and walk around there are lots of little islands of peace like this.
