  • That was quite the dump of snow.

    Yesterday it snowed, and snowed. It was probably one of the heavier snowfalls I've seen here, at least one unaccompanied by wind.  Environment Canada's site showed there was 18.6 mm of precipitation, which I believe translates into 18.6 cms of snow on average.  It would be a little less than average though as it was

  • I know you’ve missed pictures of icebergs

    Proving (yet again) that I'm pretty bankrupt on content, I thought I'd throw these older photos out for consideration.  I had some slides out this past week and discovered a partial tray of photos I took the first year I was here.  Serendipitously at the same time I found the transparency adapters for my scanner.

  • Last one, I promise

    I'm feeling lazy these days when it comes to the written word (plus I'm busy doing office work), so my posts have been reflecting that. Much easier to whip up some quick photos.  I've got some posts in mind but I'll get to them later. I still would like to do a wild flower post,

  • Stop me before I post anymore of these..

    Curse this constantly changing light, here are more pictures of the iceberg.  I swear I can't stop, it's the light.

  • Sigh

    If its not a pod of Killer Whales, then its a parade of ships. If not ships then its the full moon over King George. Its always something.  Now another iceberg has floated into the bay. When will it all end?

  • The view from the front deck

    Because I'm too lazy to write this morning, here's what I'm looking at right now.
