Polar Bear

Last week while visiting family in Vancouver, My wife and I went for a walk along Coal Harbour, Lost Lagoon, English Bay, and Denman and Robson streets.  

As we arrived in English Bay we first noticed huge crowds gathered and then it became apparent it was Jan. 01   New years day.   The famous Vancouver Polar Bear Swim.  

So as a good blogger I took a few pics for you to see.

I'm even tempted to go over and try it next year.  Or am I crazy?
Wanna join me?  Maybe Ill do a fund raiser to make sure I go in.

Ok till next time

Rain Delay

Happy New Year!!!
Its been a bit of a delay since my last post but fear not I, we have been busy.   Christmas and a trip to Vancouver to visit family and see a Canuck game.  Look for those pics in upcoming posts.

But this one is a great pic of a statue in Sidney. Someone had a great sense of humor and yes it was raining that day. I don't know how long its been like this but I got a great chuckle out of it. Hope you do too.

enjoy

short of Goal

With just one day left my virual ikettle for the Salvation Army is like the real ones behind in its goal.   I know here in Victoria the Salvation Army goal was 100,000. behind but people were stepping up and giving cheerfully to a worthwhile cause.

I also am behind on my mere goal of $100.  With only one day left I hope you will help me meet my goal and if you have trouble with donating online please if you walk by a kettle shopping tomorrow please help out.

Thanks again for joining me on this blog all year and Merry Christmas to you and a very Happy New year.

Remember Jesus is the reason for the Season.

making it clear

I had a few questions about my last post.  This ikettle is a Salvation Army kettle that is here on my blog.  Just like you see when you go into Walmart or a mall.   So just click on the link and it will take you to the Salvation Army site that has my ikettle on.

You can make a donation by credit card or paypal.   Here is a easy suggestion for all of you,  and it is secure.  Just make a $5.00 donation by credit card.  Remember I'm only trying to raise $100. this first time.  So go ahead and make a donation.  It will really benefit someone that who knows their life could be changed for the good.

Ok here's the link

Odd Shot moday 12/05

Well today's Odd Shot picture comes from a statue in front of the Westshore RCMP building.  It has been there for a while and I'm sure you might have seen pictures of it before in different brochures or magazines.

But this one is a bit different.  It was taken just after a rain. Can you see the drips from the noses of the Lady and little girl.  I don't know if the Artist designed it that way for when it rained, or if that was just the way it turned out.  But It brings the image to life with a drip on the nose as if each were crying.
