Favourite Ways to Pass the Time

Thought I might share with you what life in our area is like.

My wife, Mary Anne and I have the pleasure of enjoying all this within a 45 minute radius of our house. We love all kinds of sports and nature watching.

We are definitely happy and have been for 9 years now.

Only question is...Where do you go to "get away from it all"???

This is our starting point.

Our houses on 5 forested acres, myself and my wife in the cedar house.

The other house has 2 suites. Too much house for 2 of us.

21 pound Chinook salmon-10 min. drive, 20 min boat ride

7 Halibut in two hours-30 min drive 15 min by boat

Me on the right, brother on the left

Fish finder

Gettin some airtime-10 mins from our door

More airtime....only slightly different...3000 ft.

This one took all day though with training and all.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........The toys of it all

the latest addition...Mary Anne's quad

gotta go up the mountain for this one

.......and then there are the sunsets, particularly from the boat

Amazing what a difference in colour a few minutes makes

...and my favourite one...my Dad and myself out fishing on my boat

getting our rig back in the water

The most important aspect of my life, my wife

(on the right of course, me on the left in case there is any confusion :-)

Well I hope you all enjoyed the tour of our "backyard". Come again soon as I will be taking more sunset shots this time of year as well as Bald Eagle roosting grounds at an estuary near our home. We saw 10 in one tree a few days ago and perhaps 60 or 70 others nearby but alas.....no camera.

Life is good here.
