Vacation Time

I am a fortunate person, able to have a summer vacation in a very beautiful place.  Have a look...

 I call this spot Baby Bear Bay, two years ago we were fortunate to see a wee brown bear here...from the safety of the sailboat  :))  This is the view off the the bow, and below is the view from the stern.  An old non functioning light house, of course I call this as Old Lighthouse point.  You are looking at places on northern Georgian Bay known for its 30,000 islands.  So who counted them, and when,  and should they be counted again? Water level in the Bay is down  significantly. I know of at least one more island that has arisen in the last couple years

  

Stay cool,

Beautiful British Columbia

This Quilter took a vacation.....
These views taken from a bus. A trip I took this summer between Terrace and 

Prince George, B. C. This is the landscape of my childhood.  Those mountain vistas make my knees weak...yikes. What's that all about?  It has been many years since I travelled that highway, and it was a pleasure to let some one else drive while I stared out the window and reminisced. 

These are the banks of the mighty Skeena.  I explored those banks for many  hours,

 built many a fire  on a sand bar and swam in little back pools. Those pools are cold.

I can't find an adjective to describe this northern river kind of cold but swimming wasn't something done for long, just for cooling off, or goofin' off.  All of  these events where just  momentary blinks, because the water was so darn cold.  Of course that was fun.

The trees....I couldn't get enough of them.  

More to come....
