August 2021

 

Jane and I went on a whale watch for my birthday at the end of August. The pictures of course don't do it justice. The boat ride was beautiful. We saw orcas and humpbacks. And comedian/actor Caroline Rhea was on the boat with us.






One day we played at Lochside Elementary, which is very close to us and unfortunately did not have space for Jane.


Visiting the favorite park, Gyro. Jane is climbing on a red octopus.

Jane with her lightsaber.
Alice and I at a follow-up appointment after she broke her collarbone in July. All was deemed well. (My college roommate had this poster up in our dorm.)
Blackberries grow everywhere here, so we made a blackberry pie from neighborhood berries. And then we made another one.
Elk Lake, which has hiking trails, swimming, and a play structure.
We went to downtown Victoria one weekend.

Yet another selfie at Gyro park. (But, now, a few months later, can someone tell me why I thought a short cut which requires regular maintenance was a good idea during a pandemic?)
Three shots from along Andy's bike ride in to work. This is a statue of a previous mayor of Victoria.


Jane and Andy found a place that has gluten-free ice cream sandwiches!
Otters? I think?
Jane by the BC seal, somewhere downtown.

Playing on a beach one day.
