As promised here are some pictures from my recent trip to Canada. And yes, I can count but I thought I'd do a collage and well... consider it 3 bonus pictures. :)

Those are all really lovely. That sunset is beautiful!

I posted photos from Florence for my TT this week. Must be the week for travel photos.

Love the leaf in the sand! In the thumbnail I thought it was water, but the sand is even more interesting.

Happy TT!

Looks like a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your photos. Happy TT!

Beautiful photos. I hope you have a wonderful Turkey Day and happy TT! :-)

Lovely photos. Gosh...

Marvelous pictures! I clicked to enlarge and they are even more stunning, particularly the mallard and the sand covered maple leaf.

I recognize the roundabout with the bales of hay and pumpkins! And the shot of the beacon with the posts tied with rope in the foreground. I have several shots of us standing right beside that, I believe!

Where is the lighthouse? I love it!! Such good pictures. These would make lovely notecards. Thanks for posting such a pretty entry. It has such an autumnal feel to it.

Beautiful pics. Especially the sunset one - that is stunning!

What a very cool way to present your TT!! It looks like you and I had the same idea today, just presented in different ways.

I really liked the picture of the Canadian maple leaf in the sand. I was also impressed with the shot of the pebbles in the water and the oak leaves that were spotlighted by the sun.

You must have had a lovely trip because you certainly took some lovely pictures of some beautiful places.

Happy TT! Thank you for visiting my site today and for your comment.

How did I miss the banner? Thank you so much for using it and for the link.

I haven't had my turkey dinner yet! Yeah, that's it, turkey and mashed potatoes are brain food. I'll have seconds.

Janet on Fri Nov 23, 10:06:00 AM said...

I love the pinecone! Something about them...

tanabata on Fri Nov 23, 11:45:00 AM said...

Natalie- You should! :)

Grace- Thanks. It was a good trip. Are you celebrating Thanksgiving?

n- You're welcome!

Nymeth- Aww, thanks. I had fun taking them.

Robin- I was really happy to have caught the sunset that day. :)

Deanna- Thanks. I like the leaf in the sand too and took several pics crouched over the sand that chilly morning. :P

amypalko- Thank you.

Shesawriter- Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

quintarantino- Aww, thanks! :)

Iliana- I just love sunsets over the water! :)

Janet- The photo is a little dark but I'm quite fond of pine cones too! :)

Les- I'm so glad you enjoyed the pictures! I knew you'd recognize those ones from Sidney. :)
The lighthouse is kind of on the way to Sooke so it's off the Island highway, not the one up the peninsula towards Sidney. I think it would be about a 20-30 min. drive from downtown Victoria. I'd actually never been there before and wanted to go last year but didn't make it so I was glad to get out there this time. Anyway, it's called Fisgard Lighthouse and it's located by Fort Rodd Hill. Here's a link and you can click on the map tag to see where it is.


Harlekwin- Thanks for use of your banner. Hope you enjoyed your turkey dinner!
I really like how you presented your photos but I see it's a flickr application. I don't have a flickr account (yet anyway). So many websites to join and I don't have enough time for the ones I already belong to.

Also thank you for telling me your favourites. It was a good trip and my first one using my new DSLR. I had a lot of fun taking pictures with it. :)

HomeandHearth on Fri Nov 23, 01:20:00 PM said...

I really like the pictures (especially the pumpkins!). 13 doesn't make a good square, anyway :)

kookiejar on Sat Nov 24, 04:41:00 AM said...

Great pics! I'll bet pumpkins on hay bales isn't something you see in Japan.

Andrea on Sat Nov 24, 08:09:00 AM said...

Wow, these are some beautiful pictures. So glad I stepped into your blog so I could see your wonderful pictures.

Linda R. Moore on Sat Nov 24, 09:00:00 AM said...

What a lovely TT :) Beautiful photographs...I have only had one brief taste of Canada and would love to go back for more.

I was involved in four TTs this wee:

tanabata on Sat Nov 24, 10:54:00 AM said...

HomeandHearth- You're right, 13 doesn't make a good square at all. :)

Kookie- Yup, so true. I loved seeing lots of big, orange pumpkins around since the main squash here that they call pumpkin is green on the outside.

Andrea- And I'm glad you stopped by. :)

Linda- Thanks. I only visited one small corner of it this time but it's very scenic.
