Ever taken a cruise to Alaska?  We just returned from one and I thought that you might enjoy a tiny glimpse.


Right Before My Eyes
Glacier Bay!  I&#8217;m actually in Glacier Bay!  The ice-blue, ridged-back serpent of a glacier rested between the green snow-capped mountains at the nearest end of the bay as if it [...]]]></description>

Think that there are no flies in the ointment of life on Vancouver Island?  Well here&#8217;s a recent event that might change your mind.
Isn&#8217;t this Fun?

Ready for a taste of West Coast Spring?  Enjoy!
Spring&#8217;s Wonderful Song

&#8220;I don&#8217;t believe it!&#8221; popped out of my mouth.  &#8220;What a crazy place to build a nest.&#8221; I grabbed my binoculars.  &#8220;What in the world?&#8230;It&#8217;s gone!&#8221;  Realizing that the sparrow&#8217;s nearly completed nest had likely fallen to the ground, I strode outside to search [...]]]></description>

Recently crime caught up to our little community.
Missing
&#8220;What&#8217;s that at the end of the driveway?&#8221; I heard my husband ask as I was entering the living room.  My gaze moved to the brightening scene outside the front window and settled on the solitary dark blob on the paved road. Wrong shape for a raccoon. [...]]]></description>

Ever had ‘what if&#8221; thoughts stab you in the heart?
Any one, Anywhere, Any time

I threw a glance up at the single star brave enough to still be shining in the dark sky above the streetlight-less road.  Thank goodness the storm isn&#8217;t here yet.  The soft rays of yellow escaping through the front windows [...]]]></description>

Had any wild visitors to your yard lately?  I did.
Why do it?
&#8220;No way!  It&#8217;s the middle of the afternoon!&#8221;  Muffled by the sliding glass doors in the kitchen, my voice drew an unconcerned glance from the bandit&#8217;s glossy black eyes.  Swaying plants pulled my gaze to the strip of thigh-high winter garden behind the [...]]]></description>

Ever had a Christmas surprise that made you want to tear your hair out?  I did, one Christmas years ago.
Too Much!
&#8220;I bought them,&#8221; she said, her blue eyes watching me as if she had just stabbed me and was waiting to see the blood.
My knees went weak.  &#8220;You should have one happy daughter this [...]]]></description>

Connections
 At last! It&#8217;s time to get to know her! Our Matrix entered a series of hairpin corners and a rich blur of golds, maroons, and greens slid by the window behind my husband&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
