Dangerous wildlife and an authentic “West Coast” experience.

July 9th, 2023. One never knows what kind of dangerous critters you can run across here!
Who doesn’t love nature’s helicopter??

This morning we attended the “Art in the Garden” event in Nanoose Bay. The surroundings were kinda purdy. 👇

Trees, a green pond and a stage.
Booths. Lots of booths. David stayed far away. There wasn’t a beer garden. 😠
What stage is complete if it’s not over water and under a tree??

Ever wonder what happened to a few musicians who were quite famous? They craved anonymity so they moved here, joined forces and now play local gigs as the “Lighthouse Country Band”:

L to R: Billy Gibbons, the Dixie Chicks and Jimmy Buffett. And it was only $10!
Okay, Jimmy sounds suspiciously like Bob Dylan. I might have guessed wrong.
“The Dixie Chicks” doing Emmylou. I think.

      Ooooooh yes. They are a bit of a nuisance here, infesting neighbourhoods; they have learned that coyotes and owls don’t particularly like human traffic.

        Don’t think we could catch Bugs Bunny. He would declare war on us!! That didn’t work out so well for Elmer Fudd! 😂

      😂 I agree! My hot nature girl!

      I haven’t seen any of them, so it was great to knock all three off my bucket list. 😏😂

      Love this area. Lots to see, and the weather is fabulous. Always seems to be the hottest place on the the island. Last time I looked it was a full 9°C warmer than Victoria. 😎☀️

      We are looking forward to all the new discoveries the island has to offer! We’ve bought tickets to a theatre production in Qualicum called The Play That Goes Wrong. It’s a comedy.
