R and R

Commuting across the Rockies, house hunting, learning new technical skills and planning my new website have left me drained. Time for some R and R.

While in Calgary our smallest homo sapiens took us to the zoo. We were allowed a brief stop at the penguins                                                            

before spending a riveting week or so at the playground. Finally we were reluctantly given permission to move on to the elephants.                  

You can never get too close to the back of an elephant

Don't worry, it's fake.

Work completed we dragged through the airport yet again. How do people do this all the time. I am convinced it must shorten ones life.  Then the ferry, where as usual I got weepy at the sight of the sea.

Immediately crawled into bed so it wasn't until the next morning we realized, in our absence, Spring had arrived.

In the garden at the front of the house (the part I don't control)

Of course, I go in there anyway

Long walks along the beach are now the order of the day

Lang Bay

or hiking.

Valentine Mountain

Wishing you all a restful and restorative Easter.
