Charlie

I realized today that, while I take a large number of phone pics of Charlie, its been far too long since I've taken proper photos of her. So here are a couple. The top one was taken in the spring on Mount Tolmie. There were an unbelievable number of Camas this spring, so I had to take advantage. The bottom one was today. I always love the light as she gazes out the front window.

Mount Arrowsmith

I spent yesterday climbing Mount Arrowsmith, the tallest mountain on Southern Vancouver Island. The trail is only 3 km to the top but covers an elevation gain of over 1,000 meters. Needless to say, we are hurting today, but it was well worth the pain. With the mountains reputation for "making it's own weather," we were gifted a very rare clear view when we reached the top.
