what a lovely day…

spent some time at the front window this morning watching all the critters outside…

purple finches and sparrows...

purple finches and sparrows…

there were flickers, robins, sparrows, chickadees, purple finches, nuthatches and this very cute bird that at first I thought was a goldfinch, but I don’t think it was… one of the neighbourhood squirrels was out as well…

cute bird on the feeder, not sure what it is...

took a walk around the creek and got a few shots of the leaves which are beginning to change en masse… on Thursday as I was driving to work I noticed a small tree at the end of the street and thought I should get a picture of it…

forgot on Friday, so decided to get a few pictures today… in the process realized more than one little tree was putting on its fall coat…

virginia creeper filled with berries and gone from green to red...

wasn’t out for too long as my battery was low and as I got home my camera lens cover stopped opening… will have to take it in on Monday… sure hope they can fix it as I do love that particular camera…

Clipper, Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts, Victoria

woke at 6 but went back to sleep until 9, when I was allowed to wake the kids…

I showered and Cyndi ran out to Top Pot Hand Forged Doughnuts for our breakfast… my feather boa was very nice and they enjoyed theirs which included an apple fritter (George’s favourite)… packed up our suitcases and went for a walk… found Old Navy and got a few maxi dresses… tea at Starbucks before getting our luggage and a taxi to the ferry terminal…

sat in the sun and then boarded the Clipper… had a lovely ride to Victoria chatting with our neighbours, one of whom runs a window cleaning business in Courtenay and the kids arranged to have her company come and clean the siding on their house…

our hotel is lovely with two rooms and a little kitchenette… Ron went and picked up the car and we figured out where to go for dinner…

went to a lovely restaurant – Pescatore’s – down the street and had a delicious dinner… walked back and checked out the beautifully lit legislature…

heading to bed as we plan an early departure to the Butchart Gardens…
