Aileen's left eye is still bothering quite a bit so when she mentioned it to Richard on the weekend, Robin had an appointment for her Monday so off to Victoria again. The car is going to know the route really well pretty soon. Next scheduled appointment is October 1 then shortly after we hope to depart the Island and move up to Penticton until time to cross the border and head south. If another appointment is required, we'll drive down in the car back to Victoria and overnight in a motel.
John R and I took our side by sides out on Tuesday. We put on just 19 kms and found 19 geocaches. We had a fun day in some rare sunshine. Last night we played cards with my sisters Susan and Janet and their husbands John. Yes, there were three Johns at the table. We played hand and foot canasta and the ladies beat the guys.
Last Sunday I took my Canon 6D for a walk in the rain down at Englishman River Falls Park. It was quite wet and by the time I was done, so was my camera. I guess it didn't like all the moisture as most of the camera features quit working. Luckily, by the next day all was well again.

The rest of today's images were taken with my Canon SX60. This was on our Tuesday ATV ride. We're looking over Denman and Hornby Islands with Texada Island in the distance. The furthest mountains in the background are mainland BC.
I was surprised to spot this Turkey Vulture up on the hill
Very close to one of the geocaches we found were a number of pots of healthy pot
In one area of recent logging there were a number of these very red Dogwoods
Hole in the Wall
Downstream a bit
Building inukshuks seems to be a favorite past time along the creek
If you look very carefully, you might spot John R among the inukshuks
