Beautiful Day For the Birds

Today we enjoyed the sun and the birds at Esquimlt Lagoon.  This is a great way to spend a warm sunny winter afternoon.  Enjoy

A Time for Reflection

In the solitude of an overcast day, a long gull sits in silence. Across the water sits the majestic Olympic mountains that are today obscured by fog. It is a silent time, but a good time. It is calm, the sun casts a gleam on the water and all is well. It is a time for reflection, which is good for the soul. Have a great weekend. Take some time to smell the roses.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER

When you are cold and hungry it does not seem to matter who else is around. Very few of these hundreds of birds was much concerned with other birds. Their main concern was to get a share of the food. Ducks, ducks and more ducks, swans, gulls, pigeons....they all were tryin to come in from the cold for a snack. I never realized just how big those swans are when they are out of the water. One was standing on my toes. This is Esquimalt Lagoon which is a bird sanctuary. It is next to Fort Rodd Hill one of Victoria's attractions. The lagoon is worth a visit by itself.
