Sandal Critic

_MG_4089

A scene from Wharf Street, Victoria shot from the waist while walking around with Melinda Green Harvey.

That man said something, probably rude, to the young cyclists – they seemed more amused than annoyed.

Perhaps he did not like her sandals, or the backwards cap.

Breakwater Relaxation

Ogden Point breakwater is a great place to contemplate the surrounding depths, or watch passersby. You can see the various charms of the breakwater in earlier posts here.

This is another shot from a couple of weekends ago when fellow blogger Melinda Green Harvey came for a visit. I highly recommend her blog (click on her highlighted name to get there).

Steel and Chrome

_MG_4122-2

Or should the title be Chrome and Steel? This land yacht (as we called them in my childhood) is in front of Willy’s Bakery on Johnson Street.

While I was taking this picture from the middle of the street, I could sense Melinda’s camera upon my back, though perhaps she did not take that shot. I may never know.

Loyal Shadows

From the trail up from the beach at Mount Douglas Park .

Just so you know, when Melinda Green Harvey walked over this ground ahead of me, the shadows did not hitch a ride southeast to Texas, but stayed behind for me to continue to enjoy.

Which probably means it is safe for her to visit your part of the world too.

_MG_4038-2

The life and times of a carved wooden doll (one of the Quimper Hittys) is being explained to this girl who seems a bit unbelieving.

It was taken on the Ogden Point breakwater which is a pretty neat place on a nice sunny summer day.

This was taken on an outing with Melinda Green Harvey when she was visiting our part of Canada a couple of weeks ago.
