Anniversary Walk

It was our 7th Wedding anniversary this past Monday and we celebrate rather quietly, as agreed upon in advance. No cards, no presents, just a dinner out. As hubby was suffering the effects of a cold we took a walk around the marina to celebrate instead as he needed some fresh air and the idea of going out to dinner with him feeling under the weather seemed like a waste. We shall go at some later date when he is healthy and can enjoy it.

It is late September and we are still experiencing nice weather. It rained yesterday for the first time in ages but today it is nice and sunny again. The autumn leaves are just starting to turn and I hope to get some nice shots of those in the next few weeks.

This little Kingfisher bird is a rare sighting - unfortunately my telephoto lense was back at home so only got a shot with my regular lense.

My favorite shot of the day was above. I just love the ocean.

It appeared to be the perfect day for sailing with 17 degrees celcius and slight winds. Lots of people were returning from the day on the water.

I splurged this week and bought two of these gigantic mums at Costco - $25 for both! They are each almost three feet wide and two of them completely filled my backseat on the way home. With our mild island temperatures I expect them to last a few months - a treat that would not have been possible back in Alberta as the first snowfall there is generally Halloween.

Now I am off to make a dinner of ham for dear sick hubby. Homemade carrot cake for dessert (I made it yesterday and it is yummy!) and a PVR movie for our wild Saturday night. Cheers!
