Ahhhhhhh!

Things are settling down again - at least until the landscape guys begin the drainage and trenching of the back yard, possibly as early as next week.  Sadie has stabilized again, Petey seems nearly over his bronchitis or whatever it was and so far is doing okay on the prednisone, and Eddie and I are getting in lots of walks and hikes. The house is a disaster, and the front garden bed isn't done yet, and the rains have just started again, but 'this too shall pass'.

And so, until I get around to writing a real post, here are a few of my favourite pictures from the past couple of weeks' walks:

First from a walk around Chemainus Lake, a nice 2.5 km offleash trail:



Turkey tail fungus -
a very apt name!




Decaying stumps nurture new growth.
The roots of the new tree are almost spooky!



Modern day petroglyph -
appeared in this rockface around 2005.

And what do we see here?

Next, from a walk at Swallowfield, with Eddie, Gail and her dog Sadie:

And another one of Happy Eddie

And then back to Eves Park, (which I posted about very recently when Liz and I took the dogs there), this time with my Elder College group:

The trilliums are now at their peak.

and Mt. Brenton from the west bluffs in the park

And can you figure out what this is?
A sign nearby asked us not to disturb it. 



That's all for now - time to walk Eddie, feed Sadie, cuddle Petey and head to bed.
