We recently took a short trip to Tofino, British Columbia. It's famous for its stunning beaches, surf, fabulous old-growth forests, and as a gateway to eco-travelling. Many people also come to Tofino in the fall to see the storm waves crashing on the shore. Tofino is on the Pacific Ocean, and the next stop is…

Greetings from Victoria
Who says Canada is a cold country? A photo from my walk today around Victoria's inner harbour. And another from later this evening. Greetings from beautifully sunny, spring-is-sprung Victoria. 🙂
Greetings from Howe Sound
I am on holidays right now and am taking a little breather to Vancouver Island. We left this morning via ferry from West Vancouver and are heading to Nanaimo. Here's a photo of our crossing through Howe Sound. We are taking a few days to relax. 🙂

Death Takes a Holiday

In Praise of the Stepmother (Photo credit: Wikipedia) There once was a horrible woman who treated her biological daughters better than her step-daughter. In fact, she treated her step-daughter like the most lowly of servants. Then a rich guy fell in love with the servant girl, married her and took her…
