Ketchup........

Yup, lots of catching up to do. A beautiful Sunday morning at French Creek to start.

 

An interesting night at the Black Goose Inn in Parksville. It was a busy night and our only option was to be placed in a side room off of the main restaurant area. What we didn't expect was to be the only ones in that side room. Still was an enjoyable evening, good company.

.....making time for Rathtrevor.....

.....and, the picture doesn't do it justice, Englishman River Falls.

......'twas a beautiful day.

.....ohhhhh, that's a long way down..... anddddd......

.....Careful!

Catching up on our new hood adventures....

....makes me misty.......

Love the old growth around here, hey, like me!

It was a very enjoyable, fairly easy, 1 hour hike.

On the way home we stopped at a roadside fruit and veggie stand. This guy was not on a roof........

....but he could make the cut, he was quite a poser.

Lots of Island time, Ritsue, you'll make a connection with the neighbour cat Simba soon enough! (...and since then she has, uhhh, kinda...)

Some neighbours are not so welcome. The concern is this Eastern Cottontail will take a fancy to Ritsue's newly planted garden. Getting used to Island life......
