Photo opportunity on the dock at Sayward.
After our lunch stop at the Cypress Tree Inn we continue on to Sayward. We stop at the Art Gallery on our way back to Campbell River.
Its a tops down kind of day for touring
After our coffee stop we are on our way to Sayward
Today at home I emptied the rain gauge at 1:30. It had 2 inches of rain. Apparently there were storm warnings out. We suffered no damage and we need the rain.
oh oh the rubber chicken was awarded on some pretense as light as feathers
Our coffee and doughnut stop by this sylvan lake at a turnout on the road. Too bad about the wires, again. The doughnuts and coffee were irresistable.
a low lying cloud. I wish I could have been on the ground with a tripod for this shot.
marvelous scenery. Too bad about all the telephone poles.
We are on our way, on a cloudy misty morning.
Some tire kicking and visiting in the parking lot before the tour begins on Saturday
At home today there was .5 of an inch of rain in the rain gauge. The water fall was just a trickle, so I cleaned the filter and reset the valves to have the full flow going down the waterfall. Now that the rains are starting, I should not have to worry about topping up any water I lose to evaporation or out the sides of the waterfall.
I did a few photos of autumn color. Some not too bad. I did a short search of ebay for any dslrs that might be easy pickins. Nothing notable.
At our lunch stop at Elk Falls Park, I wandered about and tried to get a picture of each of the cars. Most of the shots were useless as the water on the cars was reflecting things. It was a fine big lunch. I kept most of mine to take home as I could not eat it all, and I was having digestion problems. Very unusual for me, but this problem persisted the whole week end. A couple of the girls had walked up a trail to the Falls... it was not far away. Wish I had gone with them. We will just have to go back in our dodge lodge, sometime. After lunch, we went back over the bridge and headed back to our hotel. I could not go to the dinner. I missed the best barbeque salmon ever made, apparently. It was at someone's home... Del and Lorraine Kyle's, (Thanks Blaze and Monica for the right name). Thanks so much for the hospitality!
I have a pedometer that I am wearing every day to see how much exercise I am getting. My brother, Dan, is on a weight loss program and had shown me his. He is doing 10,000 steps and more per day. He walks first thing in the morning. I only have done over a mile on my pedometer once, when I walked over to the drug store. I thought that walk was at least a mile one way. It seems to be a mile there and back. I really am a slug, but a happy slug. :-))
