Windows

I was looking through my photographs the other night and discovered I've photographed several windows.
Looking out, looking in...

Yesterday, the sun came out...

Spring in Port McNeill has been cold and damp. 

Yesterday was a nice treat. The clouds parted, the sun warmed the afternoon making a perfect opportunity to see what is growing in the garden.

Siberian Iris and Day Lilies

Make a wish...  mine is for a warmer, sunnier June!

back yard visitors

We have a pond in our garden and it attracts many creatures... cats, racoons (thank goodness not lately!) and birds.

Though these photographs were taken last spring, we still have their cousins visit the garden.

Spring!

My apologies, it's been far too long since my last post.  It's spring time and that keeps me very busy in the garden. So, I took my camera into the garden in the middle of April, between rain showers.

I really liked the graceful way a fern frond gently unfurls, stretching to reach for the warmth from the sun through dapple shade.

The water drops on the day lily leaves looked like little gems in the afternoon light.

Cats and water

In our back garden we have a fish pond. In the late fall we turn off the fountains and don't turn them on again until mid April.

Both of our cats are fasinated by the fish and the fountains. The cats will peer into the water wishing for the fish to get close to them and will tentatively paw the water.

Today was the first day of having the fountains running.  This caught Jazz's attention and he spent almost an hour playing and having a great time trying to catch the water. 

Who says cats don't like water?

Millstone River, Nanaimo

The Millstone River is normally a small gentle river flowing through Nanaimo's Bowen Park.  However, after a day and a half of heavy rain the river swells and the falls become frothy white.
