....I know it's been a while since I showed the glory of our little paradise on this planet, so here are a couple of views of the mainland from our little island which Wendy and I call home......the natural beauty of the Canadian west coast still hasn't lost its allure to me............ Shocked

Looking north up the channel towards Discovery Passage.........

Looking south through the Strait of Georgia towards Vancouver..........

I know how you mean that Sean. I left the concrete jungle of the Toronto area so I could come to this paradise........it's very calming for the aging process which we all must undergo if we are lucky enough to survive to a ripe old age....... Cool

Thanks for the kind words guys, but alas.......today was the direct opposite.....heavy overcast, broke into sprinkles and then all-out rain ..........but even so, the next few days are supposed to be more like the average days for this season - fingers crossed....... Roll Eyes
