I know I haven't finished off our big trip yet, but I took a break from photos of the sunny middle east to share our wintery weekend.
This past weekend was an unusual one for Vancouver - we got snowed on! I wa sin Florida about a week before when we had also had a small dumping, and I had thought I had missed the snowfall for the year. I was mistaken, as this weekend we got more snow than I think we've had in all the years I've lived here. Sunday, we had a fun day out in the snow.

Read MoreWe tackled another epic local hike this weekend, hiking up to Garibaldi Lake - along with what seemed like the rest of the city of Vancouver. It's a beautiful spot, but way too busy to make it worth the effort.
Read MoreWe enjoyed our hike last weekend so much, that we decided to go back for more! We changed the trail this time, and did the slightly shorter Half Note Trail instead.
Read MoreWe had decided earlier in the week to do a hike at Whistler on Sunday. The weather didn't really behave, but we made the best of it!
Read MoreWe don't often make it to Reifel in the summer, as the bird life is at it's lowest. Still, it's a beautiful place to wander on sunny afternoon, and there's always something interesting to see.
Read MoreOver the Canada Day weekend, we were invited to go to Vancouver Island, and hang out with our friends Alex and Fergus, at Alex's parents place near Sydney (close to Victoria). We've visited with them a number of times in the past, and it's always a fun time, with lots of relaxing. We needed it, and we were looking forward to a fun weekend.
Read MoreWe spent the weekend at Whistler, did some hiking and mountain biking, and hung our with our friend Graham.
