Friday was sunny so we hiked to the top of nearby Mount Brule. I flew the drone a while since there were no other hikers about. In the photo I'm sitting on the ground, the drone is straight over my head, almost off the top of the photo, and in the distance is Sooke harbour and, farther out, the Olympic mountains.
I'm learning to fly a drone and take drone photos. This is looking south from directly over the house.
Taken directly over the house, looking southwest towards the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic peninsula.
Until recently Kemp Lake was Otter Point's water source. But with our connecting up to the metro water system we no longer need the lake for drinking. Now the lake's recreational role can be enhanced, like with this just-completed dock.
Yesterday I'd an appointment in Vancouver, a meeting that rarely takes more than fifteen minutes. Getting there, however, takes a little longer. It's an hour's drive to Swartz Bay, a 90 minute ferry ride to Tsawwassen, a half-hour bus to the Richmond Brighouse station, a fifteen minute metro to Broadway, and a 10 minute walk to the office. (Add a plane and a bike and I'd have all transport possibilities covered.) A full day of traveling, yes, but a pleasant escape from our recent bout of cold weather.
A fix is coming.
In the meantime to see the rest try reversing the sort order.
