The Humber marque was unknown to me before seeing this beauty for sale in the village. Here's a bit about the company.

Life Is Good

Fuzzy slippers, a good book, tea and snacks, not a bad way to pass a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon. Not shown in the photo: A crackling fire in the woodstove.

Wind

Wind took the power out this afternoon and it's just come back on (about 9:30pm). The BC Hydro boys earned their paycheques today.

Prayer Flags

My mother-in-law got a new iPhone and was kind enough to pass her old model on to me, complete with the Hipstamatic camera app. Since it'll be in my shirt pocket from here on out, you can look for more images like this from time to time. Thanks Linda!

Work In Progress

The heron's dinner was originally a frog but the artist, Keith Poulton, has decided the entree should be fish so the painting is being redone.

Fence and Shadows

My neighbour's fence, made from driftwood.

The Heron Is A Lonely Hunter

With apologies to Carson McCullers. I re-read the book recently and it was even more powerful than I remembered from my first reading many years ago. Highly recommended.
