Well it's been a while since my last post. The winter here was pretty boring compared to the spring,summer and fall. I just could not get into doing too many outdoor things for some reason - I bought snowshoes but never used them. Didn't see the light of day much - and it snowed or rained almost constantly. But here it is spring now and today was beautiful and clear sunny! The buds are starting to leaf out, the magpies are gone back north and the varied thrushes are buzzing again in the woods. I did go on a few winter hikes - the trails were icy so it was hard walking. They sell these things here that you clip onto your boots to make it easier. Here's some pics I took of a nice walk out to a beautiful desolate beach. The tide was going out so got some nice pics of the tide channels in the salt marsh.
Also went to David & Shelly's wedding at Herbert Glacier! About 10 of us hiked out there (5 miles ea way!) with champagne, salmon spread, cameras, and Shelly had her wedding dress in her backpack. It was a long arduous hike, through ice and packed snow, and boulders, but a beautiful spot to get married - then a long hike back. I had the worst blister on one toe - almost the size of my toe!
I think Sadie will remember this day the rest of her life!
