Campbell River Spit

 March 11, 2019

There’s always lots of activity on the spit. It’s one of my go to places when I want to take pictures and Abby loves to walk there too.

  This little American widgeon was full of activity and gave me numerous chances to photograph her bathing. She had a partner there so she may have been just showing off for the partner.

Anyway this is a test for a friend to see how he can best communicate with his friends when he’s on the road. I am posting this from my iPad but I think it would probably post just as easily from a mobile phone .

I'm so sorry I have been busy with being retired and having fun and have neglected to update this blog.  Hope this helps.

Cruise ships pass

 

Each day at various places on the beaches of Campbell River, you will see luxurious cruise ships that ply the waters between Seattle (some from Vancouver)  and Alaska.  This one is a Royal Caribbean, Legend of the Seas, passes the fishing wharf at Campbell River.

 

Mute Swans

Our resident swan recently got a mate, not sure how, and the two are delightfully swimming around visiting Dick Murphy Park. When they hear the noisy honking of Mallards fighting for food, they soon come over to get their share.

Be kind. Bread is NOT the food of swans. It has little food value, and swells in their stomachs. If you want to feed them, take lettuce, or other green veggies, and tender stems.

Olympic Spirit

Never say Campbell River isn't a team player. I am sorry I missed one down the highway that was complete with Olympic medals. The Inukshuk below fell victim to a winter storm I think.
