burnt embers

We spent the weekend with my daughter, her husband and their charming daughter.

A few weeks ago they moved to central Vancouver Island, a drive that is about 3 hours from Victoria.

They are seeking a simpler and less expensive life in a rural setting.

This photo is about that desire through the simplicity of a garden table something they have been unable to have for years of city dwelling.

The plants are from the local farmers’ market, ready for planting.

Naturally we miss the frequent contact with our granddaughter but are happy that they have found a better place to live.

With a bit of effort we will be able to keep on watching her grow and develop.

And that effort will get us out of town every few weeks, which is not a bad thing at all.

I took a lot of pictures, which does not always happen on weekends.

And some of them are very interesting. I am just waiting permission to show them to you.
