40-50 knot winds during the ferry crossing from Horseshoe Bay today

Looking over to West Vancouver just after clearing the dock at Horseshoe Bay ... the ferry was a rocking at this time.

Glad I wasn't out in my little boat today.

It was a little chilly trying to get pictures of the waves coming over the bow.

Inside away from the elements it was still quite spectacular.

Really glad I was inside at this point since the cars on the deck were getting a bath.

Living on Bowen Island is wonderful, expecially when you wake up in the morning and find a couple of visitors on the front lawn.

Momma and her baby came for a vist.

Momma decided that everything was safe and left her baby alone as she investigated the stream.

Today Janet, Sneaker and I took a slow walk down to Crayola Beach. It took longer than usual due to bumping into a deer at the end of the road who although interested in us wasn't scared and wandered off when he got bored with us.

Sneaker comes face to face with a deer at the end of the road. The deer notices Sneaker, but since the poor guy is blind he doesn't notice the deer. Even when he did, he ignored it.

Today a mother and her two babies came to our backyard to snack on the berries ... simply beautiful.

Bowen has so many little woodland creatures many of which visit our home. How peaceful a place we live in.

Such beautiful eyes on this little deer that is visiting our back yard.
