Victoria Ferry

35 Comments

We are taking a mini-break holiday to Victoria which is on Vancouver Island, an hour-and-half by ferry from Vancouver. We had the most beautiful day for the drive through the mountains and then for the ferry trip.

November Sunset

33 Comments

The sun starts to go down quite early now. I was out for my regular afternoon ramble and to my surprise – I really shouldn’t have been – saw the sun beginning its sink at 3:22 p.m. Given that we have mountains all around, we are totally dark by about 4:30. My, that really is early!

The sunset felt wintery, too. The thin, veil-like cloud, the slight chill from the wind and the tint of the sunset itself all contributed to that sense.

But it’s November. A little bit of a wait, but I’ll nevertheless soon be counting down to spring!

Happy Saturday.

Fiery Sunset

22 Comments

We have been experiencing very high temperatures of 38C (100.4F) or so over the last week, and our sunsets have been matching those temperatures.

As the sun disappeared behind the mountain, the day finally began to cool a bit as we watched the sky calm into shades of blue before the decent into night.

It was a beautiful summer evening.

Happy Tuesday.
