I feel at the happiest when I can witness magic iike this, where the sun creates this beautiful light with water drops.
The weather has become a lot colder now in Fall and despite the colder humid air, this makes it all worth it. Nothing can measure to beauty like this, which is even hard to photograph.

We went to a restaurant (with an outdoor area) on Sunday evening - I can't remember the last time we went out for dinner : ))
Now it all involves a bit of effort and planning (like a negative corona rapid test), but it was definitely worth it ... back to a bit more normality !
Some of you might recognize this mixed drink. It always reminds me of our lovely vacation in Venice over a decade ago, where we saw Venetians enjoy this orange drink after work ... and gave it a try ourselves (without the working bit beforehand, LOL)

Ships to Shore 2017 - Steveston
One of the world’s largest tall ships, the Kaiwo Maru made a special guest appearance to Garry Point Park in Steveston, BC in honour of Canada's 150th anniversary.
Built in 1989, this majestic tall ship sailing from Japan is 361 feet in length and has over 29,000 square feet in sails.
Also known as the 'King of the Sea'.
Kaiwo Maru is a Japanese four-masted training barque tall ship.
She was built in 1989 to replace a 1930 ship of the same name.
The Ships to Shore celebration attracted thousands upon thousands of people, anxious to catch what possibly could be a once in a lifetime glimpse of this magnificent sailing ship.
In the background there were nautical displays, carnival activities, food concessions, fireworks and much more...
As night fell, a live band drew and captivated a large audience of people.....truthfully, none of that seemed to distract myself nor many other dedicated photographers..
I know I couldn't 'steer clear' (so to speak) from this extraordinary ship's side, nor could I afford wasting one precious moment of what night fall was offering.
The dimming sky provided ongoing colour and light photog opportunities that enhanced the magic of this fine lady and her scenic surroundings.

This ruffled yellow rose was spiraling out her golden petals, and she seemed to be as happy to be there as I was to see her...
Do you think flowers have personalities?? I always assume they do :)... and if it's true, this one was the most cheerful rose, by far!!!
Have a beautiful, happy week!!!

Summer storms roll in and out of the South Cariboo region without notice.
As the clouds started to clear, a bright light appeared to end the day, as may be seen in the previous photo. Then the light dimmed, and produced this last hoorah.
The small community of Bridge Lake, located in the Interlakes district of the Southern Cariboo, was originally situated on the historic Fur Brigade Trail. The Fur Brigade Trail dates back to the early pioneer days of fur trading and was a combination of waterways and overland trails, used to connect trading posts. After the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road during the 1860s the Fur Brigade Trail became redundant.
The beautiful Interlakes area is aptly named the “Fishing Highway”, as anglers can access over 300 lakes, making this one of the best fishing spots in British Columbia.

Walter Wilcox, a Yale college student, in August 1899 discovered a splendid small lake enclosed by wild rugged
precipices. Wilcox named it Moraine Lake after the moraine (rock pile) deposited by the Wenkchemna Glacier.
He wrote : "No scene of most had ever given me an equal impression", adding that his time spent contemplating the view was the happiest half-hour of his life.

О счастливых мгновениях

В 1899 г. студент Йельского колледжа Уолтер Уилкокс в Скалистых горах Канады обнаружил удивительное озеро, окруженное отвесными скалами и лесистыми склонами. Студент, ставший контр-адмиралом ВМФ США, позднее так вспоминал это место: "Те полчаса, в течение которых я любовался озером, были самым счастливым моментом моей жизни."

My own unique perspective of framing this heritage train bridge with this windward swept branch, as it appears to stretch the entire length of the bridge and beyond.
The late sundown seemed to highlight the tree to match the rusty colour of the oxidized steel.
The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span.

The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. The river's annual discharge at its mouth is 112 cubic kilometres (27 cu mi) or 3,550 cubic metres per second (125,000 cu ft/s), and each year it discharges about 20 million tons of sediment into the ocean.
The river is named after Simon Fraser, who led an expedition in 1808 on behalf of the North West Company.

Capturing the last light on the day. Late Autumn sundown.
The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. The river's annual discharge at its mouth is 112 cubic kilometres (27 cu mi) or 3,550 cubic metres per second (125,000 cu ft/s), and each year it discharges about 20 million tons of sediment into the ocean.
Naming:
The river is named after Simon Fraser, who led an expedition in 1808 on behalf of the North West Company.
History:
On June 14, 1792, the Spanish explorers Dionisio Alcalá Galiano and Cayetano Valdés entered and anchored in the North Arm of the Fraser River, becoming the first Europeans to find and enter it. The existence of the river, but not its location, had been deduced during the 1791 voyage of José María Narváez, under Francisco de Eliza.
The upper reaches of the Fraser River were first explored by Sir Alexander Mackenzie in 1793, and fully traced by Simon Fraser in 1808, who confirmed that it was not connected with the Columbia River.
The lower Fraser was revisited in 1824 when the Hudson's Bay Company sent a crew across Puget Sound from its Fort George southern post on the Columbia River. The expedition was led by James McMillan. The Fraser was reached via the Nicomekl River and the Salmon River reachable after a portage. Friendly tribes met earlier on by the Simon Fraser crew were reacquainted with. A trading post with agricultural potential was to be located.
By 1827, a crew was sent back via the mouth of the Fraser to build and operate the original Fort Langley. McMillan also led the undertaking. The trading post original location would soon become the first ever mixed ancestry and agricultural settlement in southern British Columbia on the Fraser river.
In 1828 George Simpson visited the river, mainly to examine Fort Langley and determine whether it would be suitable as the Hudson's Bay Company's main Pacific depot. Simpson had believed the Fraser River might be navigable throughout its length, even though Simon Fraser had described it as non-navigable. Simpson journeyed down the river and through the Fraser Canyon and afterwards wrote "I should consider the passage down, to be certain Death, in nine attempts out of Ten. I shall therefore no longer talk about it as a navigable stream". His trip down the river convinced him that Fort Langley could not replace Fort Vancouver as the company's main depot on the Pacific coast.
Much of British Columbia's history has been bound to the Fraser, partly because it was the essential route between the Interior and the Lower Coast after the loss of the lands south of the 49th Parallel with the Oregon Treaty of 1846.] It was the site of its first recorded settlements of Aboriginal people (see Musqueam, Sto:lo, St'at'imc, Secwepemc and Nlaka'pamŭ), the site of the first European-Indigenous mixed ancestry settlement in southern British-Columbia (see Fort Langley), the route of multitudes of prospectors during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush and the main vehicle of the province's early commerce and industry.
In 1998, the river was designated as a Canadian Heritage River for its natural and human heritage. It remains the longest river with that designation

If I watch a film or TV show, or read a book, I am truly happiest when it's one which forces me to use my head. I love to spot the small clues which are peppered throughout. My task is always to try and work out who did what to whom, and when. Slight problem is that if you are watching something with me, I tend to share my theories out loud. Ha!
It has only just occurred to me today that I would do well to try and adopt this strategy in my own life too.

Episode XLVIII
Hi Folks,
first of all, a big Thank You to all who sent us their good advice !!!
SHE really phoned the builder to help us out with the car. It was not even necessary to demolish the outer wall of the house. As the builder is a very strong man, he carried the car out of the house and we could have our first drive – with the complete family. Have you ever seen a man carrying a car ??? We haven’t ! The old cat, which might suffer from rheumatism was allowed to use our little racer as it makes it easier for him to get from one end of the Wild Garden to the other. We guess he enjoyed his trip as much as we enjoyed ours. The family car runs perfectly. Due to the heavy traffic in this Wild Garden, SHE had a big present for us – two traffic lights which help to make this place a bit safer. With our new BearRover we plan to go on a trip around the world, providing SHE will allow this, which we doubt – but first let us explore together all hidden places in our wonderful Wild Garden. We are the happiest Bear Family on this planet because we know that
"LESS IS MORE!!! "
Bear Hugs all around
