It’s been a little while

I’ve taken a few days off and I’m looking forward to sharing some photos with you that my husband has snapped in my absence.   Coming soon!

How about this early April Fools joke Mother Nature is playing with us…did I really just see snow?

Oh Canada

It’s amazing what cruises through our "back yard" the Puget Sound.   This photo was taken just a few moments ago of HMCS Vancouver (FFH 331).
