Late fall in the Garden

October is hot!

I've rarely had a sunny birthday so a 30 degree birthday was even more of a change from the normally bone-chilling weather we have in Canada by late October. I'm usually packing on a parka against the frosty wind, not walking around in flip flops. I love this! A joint birthday gift from my family and Joel was a Canon Rebel XSi and a 24-70mm lens. We were out playing with it for the first time today. Can't wait to be able to finally shot my own pictures for school projects.

Float Plane to Victoria

I had so little time to see my family over thanksgiving so my Dad booked a float plane for me to be able to make it for a lunch and be back in Vancouver again for dinner. How crazy is that?

The float plane was a really great thing to do. We get so used to what BC looks like that we forget how breathtaking it is. I unfortunately only had my battered up old Canon powershot with me. Here are the pictures from my flight to Victoria.
