Colleens Big Adventure



Went into Abbotsford to shop at the dreaded Costco for the few items I buy in bulk. Kirkland dog kibble ( excellent kibble for my crew,and hordes of other GSD's I know ), toothpaste, hand soap,laundry detergent, blah blah blah. You get the drill.

I am one who seriously despises shopping. I hate it. I wish I could send in a clone for personal shopping, and a slave maid for other droll things.

A maid, no! a butler, who rocked at making peach daiquiris. Yah, that's what I want.

The best part of any journey outside of Hope is the opportunity to take photos. So, here was my adventure yesterday....

This guy was 2 cars ahead of me in a line up at Tim Horton's. I don't know him, but I bet we would become fast friends. Anyone who drives around in a lime green Dodge Ram is beyond okay in my books.


Malvina Reynolds wrote a song that speaks volumes today, and for evermore. Here she is singing the song "Little Boxes", that the show "Weeds" brought to everyones attention again. All the Little Boxes of houses creeping up the hillside are on the outskirts of Abbotsford.

Mount Baker looking stunning ( as only a mountain can!) with a fresh cap of snow


Empty nest in the crazy busy parking lot


More deserted nests


A photo of clouds....just because


Starlings


Adult and baby swans. ( or for you word junkies, cygnets )



I pissed them off


It's "Burn All Your Crap" week. Just disgusting. Most of this is tree debris, on a HUGE acreage....couldn't they just pile it all in a corner and let it rot? No, they have to assist in worsening the environment.


Look at this long trail of pollution, from the one fire above. There were 20-25 in the 1.5 hour stretch.


On the way home, this hawk settled on a wire over an off ramp. And thankfully stayed there while I pulled over and took its photo
