California Big Horns ~ Lillooet style

Life has been too busy for blogs but I thought these animals were worth one…After our second grandson Jacob’s  first “real” hockey game in Lillooet on Sunday … by the way he scored a goal ( that he didn’t realize he got …lol…) He was quite the go-getter on the ice not bad for 5.   On the way home we saw these beauties. They were not big by any means but fascinating to watch  just the same. Apparently their vision is 8 times more powerful than human eyes… crazy eh…

Swan song ~

One of my favorite places in Victoria is The Lagoon just outside Belmont Park.  I enjoy going for walks there.  I always take my camera because I know there will be a flurry of activity with all of the birds. Especially the swans.
