Basket of Kittens
This is part of my Christmas holiday’s experimenting with duplicating old slides. I chose the images for the post to please Oneowner‘s Ken Bello who seems to have a thing about this particular subject, and even if he does not like them, perhaps his cat Emo will. And, Melinda, feel free to photoshop one of these into your cliché-ridden post of a few weeks ago.
This is a second day in a row where being tired is influencing what I put up. These images I had processed and they were sitting around, more easily used than what I might otherwise post.
What’s in that Bag?
This photo was taken just after Christmas on Gonzales Hill not far from the observatory – it was an exceptionally grey and gloomy day – who knows why I even bothered to haul the camera along on this walk because I don’t. Even so, I ended up being left with the question, what the heck has someone left hanging on the door knob in that bag?
Gonzales Solstice with Drain
Another photo taken at the winter solstice event in Gonzales Bay before Christmas. I like that there is a moon shadow from my partner, but also a street and house lights shadow from bushes and other things that are on the bank behind the beach. For other photos see Gonzales Solstice and Gonzales Solstice II.

Miramontes
We rented this view for a year, about 20 years ago. This is Flower Island, seen from the water front beside Miramontes Drive, a very short block on the south side of Ten Mile Point. The cottage below came with the rent. Our eldest son was born while we lived here, and thus our family grew too large for this tiny place (what you can see is all that there is).
In many ways it is the best place we have ever lived. The yard is large, with fruit trees and an enormous and vigorous lilac hedge and a good vegetable patch. And this view. It looks south across the Oak Bay waterfront at the Olympic Mountains.
