January views from the hill




. 
 That's enough scenery shots for a while . 

 Yes , we did get hit by the snowstorms ,  in two dumps of snow , but lots of people on the coast got it much worse . And , in a few days we are back to the usual rain and wind storms , which aren't so pretty.

Estero Peak moods



 Over Quadra Island and beyond the jig-saw pieces of islands and passages is Estero Peak , with  the fishin' hole of Denham Bay at it's foot , and on the other side of the peak is Bute Inlet . 

I take a lot of photos showing the various moods of Estero Peak.  Photos taken from a wide view point at the end of my block .

deer around the house



 When I moved over to Campbell River town from Quadra Island , I didn't expect to still see deer so regularly living right around us in the neighbourhood.  This is neighbourhood is home for this doe and her family.  These photos are from the back door. 
Destination Campbell River is making a point of noting that this town , with all it's comforts and conveniences , is on the edge of the wild .  So , I thought I'd add these photos .
