Galiano's Hummingbirds et al....


Before the Hummingbirds there are the boat dogs. This guy was totally mesmerized for HOURS by a bucket with a couple of little herrings cruising around in tepid sea water. He was so captivated, that one wanted to hand him a remote control so he could change the program in the bucket. Never kicked it over, but waggled his tail watching fish.

The very act of fishing captivated his undivided attention

And then again, back to watching...the fish were so small, that they just qualified for bait. No matter for this fisherdog, he watched all the same.
At the same time, one of the owner's kids had managed to push a fish hook through a fingernail, and started an all out scream fest, until the parents had the offending object removed. Through all this Fido was glued to his very own TV program.

Summer seems to be winding down, last night 5 buoys were left empty in Montague Marine Park, unusual for this time of' year, with still a couple of weeks until school starts up. But, it's cooler today, and boaters must have headed for home dock.

What on earth is a biodynamic peach????

When all else fails, as in the regular Shuttle Bus to Sturdies Bay has suspended service, one takes the PUB BUS, compliments of the Hummingbird Pub, an iconic revelling place near 'the cross roads'.

Just in case passengers are doubtful as to the destination....lots of Hummingbirds on the side of the old school bus to clarify any questions

And there it is, the Hummingbird Pub, purveyors of the best pub food anywhere

The rustic exterior of the old pub

Ant the equally rustic, if somewhat empty,  interior....

A lager, the smallest on the menu, to validate my use of the pub conveyance

And of course, as a Gulf Island Pub demands, the pub deer wandering around in the beer garden....
