My Photo
Ontario, Canada
My blog, like life, is a mixture of all sorts of things . . . gardening, nature, crafts and photography. Right now it's the time of year when the focus is more on the non-gardening things I love to do. But I'm always thinking and dreaming of gardening.

Wiarton Willy didn't see his shadow and predicted an early spring. But do you believe the groundhog? After all, he's not a meteorologist but just a rodent living in the garden.

Reminiscing the Harbour



Reminiscing on a nice sunny, but cold weekend.
On a lovely sunny day last November we went for a visit to the Victoria Harbour.

The Pacific Undersea Gardens are housed on this boat  What a fascinating place to visit and see creatures from under the sea.

The SS Beaver is up for sale. This is a replica of the original paddle wheel boat that sailed from England in 1835.

A big cruiser reflected in the calm waters.

Another view of the SS Beaver and the wonderful reflection in the water.

These photos are of course from our vacation on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.  I'm so glad I took many, many photos as it allows for lots of time for reminiscing over the winter months.   I'm linking up with Weekend Reflections and Sunlit Sunday.

Friday's Fence

We are coming to the end of another week.
This week saw the start of February and Groundhog Day.  The local Ontario groundhog, Wiarton Willy predicted it would be an early spring. But have we really had winter yet?  It was very mild at the beginning of the week and any  snow that arrived on the weekend was melted away by Wednesday.
Now it is Friday and time to share a fence photo.  I recently discovered FotoFlexer, an online site to add frames, text, and other effects to your images for free.  After trying it out I can recommend it to be easy and fast.

This is a fence that surrounded part of the Tofino Botanical Gardens on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.  We were out that way last November.

Just look at the structure inside, wish I could of explored it but there was a terrific storm going on so I just got lots of glimpses through the fence.  It looks like a wonderful place to stroll through, but not in the pouring rain and wind.  Perhaps next time we are back visiting that area we will go inside.  We did visit Long Beach and see the huge waves during the storm.
