Heron

While out walking at Ogden Point and along the top of the Breakwater, I spotted a heron fishing at low tide.




What was cool was the perspective I had. It's not often I see a bird from above.




After a day out feasting by the water, it was time to go home but going home this way was very unusual. I would have thought that taking the No 26 Express, one stop over, would have been a lot quicker.

my tv... the sci-fi channel

Yesterday I went for a walk along Dallas Road and the breakwater at Ogden Point. It's one of my favourite places to walk and I walk there almost daily. I brought my camera hoping to catch some groovy sunset shots as the clouds were looking favourable.



There I stood at the end of the breakwater with a few other sunset watchers... waiting and waiting... but the sunset just stayed, seemingly forever, like this:



It got cold quickly and I decided to get moving. As I was walking back home I turned around expecting nothing and saw this following show:









Sort of a freaky sunset! I slept with my special hat on last night. ;-)

I finally had my camera with me!

It was a glorious day again today! This has been a wonderful winter; lots of varied weather from freezing, snowy days to wind storms to 15C sunny, spring weather. All very different from the usual winter grey damp dullness. I went to Esquimalt Lagoon and the Breakwater today to soak it all up, camera in hand... and the wildlife cooperated!

No Fucking You at Ogden Point

I walk along Dallas Road and 'the breakwater' at Ogden Point almost daily (see post below). I usually take my camera and here was Tuesday's favourite photo. It's the most elegant 'fuck you' I think I've even seen.



The following photo was Wednesday's favourite (those are 'wet paint' signs):



There will be no fucking at Ogden Point!
