It's now nine months since my return from a 2-month house sit in the Comox Valley
on Vancouver Island in the province of British Columbia in Canada.
The experience has left an indelible imprint on my heart. While being very grateful for having had the opportunity to enjoy the island and its beauty on not one, or two, but three occasions,
it continues to beckon (especially at this time of the year when they are heading into Winter and here in South Australia we are bearing up under temperatures in the high 30sC!).
Until my next visit in the middle of 2018, sorting, reviewing and preparing a photobook of that last trip will feed my yearning to be there!
If you've not travelled to that part of the world, perhaps the following shots will give you a taste of life in the land of the maple leaf ......
A juvenile bald eagle
Just one section of the Vancouver Island Ranges
Just a rural barn
A place for contemplation at Lazo Beach
The rugged shoreline along the ocean side of Goose Spit
A magnificent mature Bald Eagle
Englishman River Falls
This scene takes my breath away every time I see it - Vancouver city is dwarfed by the spectacular Rocky Mountains
This young deer was grazing in my friend's back garden
Don't think the owner will be taking the boat out any time soon!
The place to buy fresh fish and prawns
Great meals, inviting ambience and fabulous views from this pub!
An American Robin
Well, that might suffice for today - hope you enjoyed the journey.
Linking up with Our World Tuesday and
Outdoor Wednesday with grateful thanks to the hosts of both sites.
