My Garden - Snapshots

 

When the lovely Poker Plant (Kniphofia)  is blooming...

 

...you know it is summer.

 

A few snapshots of my garden.  :  )

 (Most of the photos are from Tantalus lookout)

 

A beautiful drive on a beautiful day..

 

 

 

...with a beautiful view of the coast mountains to the west...

 

and the ferry arriving at Horseshoe Bay,

 as we drive by.

Enjoyed every minute of our trip.

 

 

Bear Aware

 

We usually see some wild life on our

excursions from BC to Alberta....

...and our last trip did not fail to please...

 

...as we saw this magnificent,

glossy, healthy bear...

 

...feeding along the highway.

 

He was very aware of us

and I was very content to stay in my vehicle

to snap a few pictures.

 

Thank you for visiting today!

My Garden - The Irises Are Out

 

The irises are out in large numbers

...so lovely and intricate....

 

....as well as the pinks...

 

...and painted daisies.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog!

My Garden - Random Photos

Irises and Roses

The summer weather

 we have we had this past week

has produced an explosion of blooms in my garden....

 

...and here are a couple of random photos.  :  )

Surrounding Views

 

Often overlooked

because of the dominating face of Mt Robson,

the other mountains surrounding

the Mt Robson center are also... 

 

 

 ....spectacular.
