#58 Jan 2015 A New Year!

We had planned to head south between Christmas and New Years Day. December 18th we created a schedule. An hour later Ralph received an email asking him to teach at BCIT January 12th to 16th. A quick consultation and our plans changed. He enjoys the teaching and we both enjoy the paycheque. We had time to do more in our neighbourhood.

This unicycle rider added to the variety of people enjoying a stroll on New Years Day. We missed the Polar Bear Swim at the White Rock but the swimmer in the shorts went into the water at the fishing dock. A hardy young man.

Lindsay wanted to “test” her passport so we explored Chukanut Drive WA and found an unusual sunset.

This tree did not let human damage deter its growth.

A picnic in the rough.

We made a quick trip to Victoria to visit Peter and Lorraine. Peter has had some very serious health issues and we enjoyed seeing his determined progress back towards 100%. They live near Oak Bay and we walked to the dock. The seals know how to attract a free meal and we were very willing to watch their show.

They create a huge splash with their flippers and demand their fishy rewards.

A beautiful sunset completed a very special day.
