Drying Bed
These shots are of a freshly oiled bed, drying in the living room. I made the bed last weekend for my son – I have to do my carpentry on the back patio as I have no workshop or covered space available at this time. Naturally, after several unusually dry months it started to rain just when I was going to apply some Danish oil and has not stopped for a week now. So, the bed has ended up drying in the living room. I don’t do carpentry very often, and making things from scratch even less so – its been a few years since I last tried something like this.
Red King
Fall colours seem obligatory in the blogosphere, and our King apple tree has been very obliging this year with apples redder than usual.

Island View Pink
Back to my recent trip to Island View Beach. One of the more poignant observations of that visit were the carnations floating along the water’s edge. What the story might be I can only imagine.

Trafalgar Gorse
This photo of gorse is from the edge of last year’s burn in Trafalgar Park, taken the same time as my series from Trafalgar Park that I posted in August.

Snow Fence II
Last year I posted a truly garish picture of snow fencing on Lorne Terrace on Harling Point. It was for a house that was under construction at the time, to protect a tree from machinery. Today’s snow fencing has a more open mesh and is much redder. It was along Quimper Street in the summer, to keep construction workers and their trucks off lawns next to another new house under construction. It seems that the parts of greater Victoria with waterfront or water views are pretty much recession proof as there has been little noticeable slow down in renovations and replacements, at least in the Harling Point area.

Forbidden Fruit
.
Surely this is the best protected fruit in the tree world. It is another shot of one of the monkey puzzle trees in Ross Bay cemetery. Previously I have shown a different and more elegant view of this tree here, as well as macro abstractions of one in Beacon Hill Park here. I am a bit surprised to not have posted more often, nor since November last year, as the trees are pretty common in my area, and fascinating subjects.
