The Japanese Maple tree on our balcony is finally waking up...

*I really like our camera's macro focus setting!

An agave plantation up in the Western Sierra Madre mountains. The root base of  those spiky plants is what tequila is made from...



Later that day we stopped at a distillery for a few samples. I had 5 different flavored shots back to back!

I took a walk around Swan Lake a couple of days ago and I always pause here at the ancient Willow tree. I like this tree...

While the rest of North America is slogging through winter, there are signs of an early spring here in Victoria. Megan picked these snow drops on her way home from work today...

Another thing I did during yesterday's break in the rain was take a brisk walk around Swan Lake, which is just down the road from my home. The water was as smooth as glass and I really like how my pictures turned out like paintings. This one is my favorite and I didn't do any editing...

For lack of a better idea today, here's a photo of the Draceana plant my mother in law gave us a few weeks ago (clay pot and all!). I like it...

So far the plant seems pretty happy in it's new home and is doing great. The little plastic grids are over the soil to keep the cat from digging in it.

Twisted trees and eroded cliffs. Hanauma Bay, Hawaii. This is where we spent our 4th day...

There's no shortage of great photo opportunities this time of year. This is somewhere along the Swan Lake trail near my home...

That's my lovely wife ahead of me on the trail. I told her to keep walking so the shot would look more natural.

Another Fall photo. This tree looms over the site office where I was working today...

Side note: This post marks the halfway point in my 365 Project! Okay, technically half of 365 would be 182.5, but let's not split hairs here. I have 6 more months to go!

Fall is upon us, at least in this part of the world, so I'm marking the change of seasons with a great old photo I took right about this time 2 years ago...

It's that time of year when the leaves start to turn and different trees seem to do this different ways. This is the maple tree in my mother-in-law's yard...

Just for fun, I took another shot using my camera's colour accent feature...

A house warming gift from a really great couple we know...

Sometimes I feel so lucky to have such good friends.

Megan's Hosta in the evening...

It's come a long way since the first time I posted this hosta for photo #12.
