Returning to Victoria from a trip to Vancouver. Too bad Mt. Baker is 200km away (line of sight). So a lot of haze adds up into the far distance :)
Still a great shot I think.
At times we see Mt. Baker much clearer from Victoria

Talking about missed opportunities!

This Tree Froggy did miss a great lunch! This happens when you look the wrong direction!

This long weekend was perfect for a stroll through Butchart Gardens! If you ever want to see Colors go there - it is overwhelmingly colorful. And guess what! All natural no artificial colors at all 🙂

Tiny, often overlooked, even swatted away, yet bees are an essential part of our food system.
Without them, our plates would empty and our landscapes would fade to gray.
Bee kind. Protect them!

What a morning! I arrived early and stayed way into the afternoon wandering Victoria’s Inner Harbour at Northwest Deuce Days 2025.
A thousand+ hot rods invaded the waterfront under perfect sunshine and blue sky weather.

We just harvested our Lavender to get some essential oil out of it. We still kept many strands standing so that our favorite #bees can have some delicious treats!

trying to catch those Bald Eagles, I still need to practice more shooting with the tele-lens - I always forget to dial up the ISO even in bright daylight! Eagles are fast moving - getting them sharp is a challenge. Also my tele-lens maxes out at 240mm :(

What a spectacle.. I heard squeaking outside and saw large shadows over me. 4 Bald Eagles were fighting it out right above my head. had to rush to get my camera and put the tele-lens on.
They were gaining height so fast - unbelievable!

When out in our backyard I waited and waited, I tried to catch those lighting fast Hummingbirds. Standing still, holding a Tele-Lens in mid air for 20 minutes and not moving to avoid scaring them away. Keeping them in Focus and and and

Lunch Time! It was a cloudy day here in BC. I hope my Canadian fellows in BC had a Happy Victoria Day.

I got some decent shots from this Heron catching some fish. I'm still using my sub-optimal tele lens :(

Making your own bread all natural is the best! This allows us to avoid the North American abomination they call bread. So sad that the only good bread you can get is in Germany unless you do it yourself!

Nothing beats fresh natural Sourdough bread!
