M and I went to Vancouver Island for my sister’s internment this week. While there, we said good-bye to my sister while visiting the places she loved on the island where she lived for most of her life.
There’s regular float plane service between Victoria and Vancouver.
Seals in the harbour. They look cute but can be quite aggressive.
An interesting tree on the pathway around Victoria Harbour. It looks like a giant with outstretched arms.
J loved seafood.
The quirky houseboat village. Sometimes, tourists will walk right inside people’s homes!
A two-masted schooner used for student training.
Far up the fjord that’s part of Victoria harbour.
A tugboat.
J was a fan of spring bulbs.
Seagulls have no respect for historical figures.
Goodbye, J. I love you.
What a great tour, Lynette! I love the seals, and that tree with the moss is amazing.
Actually, that’s the tree’s limbs. It has these sort of fronds growing from the limbs – no moss! It’s a very strange looking tree, right? 🙂 It’s some kind of cedar. 🙂
Beautiful photos. Sorry that you had to say goodbye to your sister. Take care of yourself in this tough situation. Hugs!
Thanks. She was great. 🙂
My heart aches for you. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
You are so welcome. I wish I could give you a hug, treat you to lunch, or have you over for dinner. But New Mexico is far away from where you are.
Thank you! That’s so nice. 🙂
Btw, New Mexico is one of my favourite places. Beautiful. 🙂
I moved here from Pennsylvania in 2003. I was on my way to California but as I was passing through the high desert of New Mexico, I loved it so much I decided to stay here instead. It was a crazy post divorce turning fifty thing. But it turned out great, I met my best friend husband here. 🙂
That’s a great story. 🙂 I love how we can think we might be acting crazy and then everything just goes very right. 🙂 My M and I had our first holiday together in New Mexico touring Taos and Santa Fe. He had never been before and he loved it.
Sorry for your loss. The visit must have been poignant.
Thank you very much. Yes. It was. She loved Vancouver Island.
Oh sweetie, my thoughts are with you as you said goodbye to J. Thank you for the photos and I hope through the sadness, you and M had a lovely time together. Hugs xx
We did. It was emotionally draining but we did have a lovely time together.
Hope you are well. 💛
I’m glad and I’m ok, thank you Hun. x
