If You Want To See Eagles You Have To Look Up

18 Aug

We left Vancouver by ferry for the Sunshine Coast, a favorite Canadian summer haunt. We dropped Alice with a friend from Bacalar to catch up and give Lisa and me a little va-ca.

The Sunshine Coast is more of what I wanted in a vacation to Canada, tall pines and oaks, fiddle ferns and moss, the cathedral of the great outdoors. We watched the tide going in and out from our room on Porpoise Bay, Seychelt, BC. and walked a marsh full of birds (crows, siskin, blue herons, hummers, mallards, geese). I looked up to spot an eagle overhead. At least I think it was an eagle. Anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Beauty that brought me to tears.

By the time this posts we’ll be on our Alaska cruise with no WiFi. Then on our way home. Stay tuned.
