New Year's Eve in Bamfield 2018

We went to see our friends in the community of Bamfield and celebrated the New Year.  The road trip was scenic but there was to much rain and the windstorms caused lots of damage.  We stayed for a few days and drove back and this winter is still quite mild and everyone's happy there still no snow.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE 2018

The Winter Solstice in Victoria 2018

It was a mild and sunny day in Victoria and we stopped by Beacon Hill Park to observe the winters solstice.  Today the sun was low and glimmered brightly and then it eventually dimmed away beautifully.  We could all feel the coldness in the forest and then headed back to our homes.

Nymph Falls Nature Park 2018

We've been so busy the last few months.  I've been teaching in Nanaimo and our youngest daughter is beginning University in Victoria.  This autumn on the Island our fall colours haven't faded away but are making our forest especially around Nymph Falls Nature Park attractive.  The weather just recently has been quite mild and the winter solstice is approaching soon.  We leave this beautiful park around late afternoon as the daylight vanishings.
