Fall Fun

A beautiful fall walk in the park with Lily's buddy Macie, and my friend Tamara.

Aldergrove Antics

A beautiful sunny fall afternoon for a cycle around the Greater Vancouver Zoo.
Unfortunately I accidently deleted a few good pics....but here is Lily feeding the donkey, having a well deserved rest from cycling (and of course a snack), and a shot of a Zebra (well, most of one!) as taken by Lily.

Soggy Southlands

A rainy day at the annual Southlands Country Fair....but we still had a ton of fun. Mini donuts, pony rides, a petting zoo...yee-ha! Click to enlarge.

Beach Buddies

Friends hanging out at Harrison Lake.

Sand Sculptures

Checking out the International Sandcastle Competition at Harrison Hot Springs. Lily's favourite was the pig drinking a cup of tea! Click to enlarge.

Facinating Favela

A major Favela (slum) in Rio, one of the larger ones right behind our hotel. A small group of us went on a tour (very cautiously) with a local guide.

Wild Waves

Some rough seas just outside our hotel....and some more beach views. Ipanema Beach, and Copacabana from the rocks at Ipanema.
