Summer Break

A short intermission to my watery summer, one week on land to enjoy the pleasures of home, garden and neighbourhood...


Delicate seed pods in my garden
Despite tent caterpillars taking the apple tree over during spring this year, my trusty apple tree is laden with a bounty of delicious apples....and the deer are aware of it.
My floating home is ready, stocked and cleaned for another little while amongst the Gulf Islands

One visits quaint Victoria to pick up mail, check out the scene and admire the charming harbour

The flower baskets  are a little smaller (economic frugality) but still decorate downtown Victoria with a burst of colour

Maple Bay Yacht Club...embarkation port!
