House Sitting in Victoria BC...




Starting this out with a couple of photos taken from the deck of the house I'm looking after.  Similar to home in that there are a lot of trees that break up the view.. but the parts you can see are very scenic and special.  It's also a bit closer to the water as the lower deck is attached to the dock for sea access which is nice... if you're a boat person?




Today I took my bike out an hit the trail that is just a couple of blocks from the house.  Biking is big here and you can go right into town or even out to Swartz Bay on the trails that start close by.  I was particularly interested in taking a pic or two of the wonderful crop of black berries that are growing in abundance EVERYWHERE... so nice on the bike where you can stop in a multitude of places to pic a few berries for sustenance ... the plants grow as high as 15 feet and are loaded with berries.


Soooo.. what do you expect after a three hour trip (including berry picking time of course)... nothing like fresh berries, a good book, and a fine local ale while sitting on the deck, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the view.

Life is Good!
