The results of my small, totally unscientific poll, asking bloggers if they click on photos to enlarge them, came as a total surprise to me. Fully 89% of respondents said they do enlarge photos ‘Sometimes or Frequently’. This is one time when I was happy to be wrong especially since just 6.6% indicated they ‘Never’ enlarge photos.
For those bloggers, like me, who enjoy photography and like to include photos in our blogs these results are very encouraging. I can’t wait to tell Paulette the results so she knows that my entire photo taking isn’t in vain and, more importantly, she can convince Santa Claus that I do indeed need a new camera for Christmas!!
Some photos from our afternoon hike in Manley Creek Park
It was cloudy and cool on Sunday and as the day went on it got darker and more gloomy. By dinnertime as the wind began to pick up, it seemed we were in for our first November storm of the year. Sure enough, just after 6pm our power went out and we figured that was it for the night. Incredibly, the power came back on just 30 minutes later and was good the rest of the evening!
Paulette was really bundled up for this afternoon walk
Earlier in the afternoon, we did venture out for a while to take Molly and Rylie for a walk. We didn’t go too far just down to Cowichan Bay and the Manley Creek Regional Park. We hadn’t been to this park since September and then it was quite dry with no water in the creek at all. It was a different story yesterday as the creek was full.
It was dark and gloomy out over the bay towards Salt Spring Island
Down at the beach, it was pretty grey and gloomy looking out over the water towards Salt Spring Island. The storm clouds were so low they were covering the top half of the mountains.
That was about it for our Sunday other than I did get home in time to watch the end of a few NFL games. Since there is nothing else of much consequence to blog about, I thought I’d answer a couple of questions left on recent posts:
Rod was wondering about all the dead salmon lying on the river banks following spawning: “So does mother nature decompose all those fish over the winter or what happens to them..?”
The death of the salmon results in significant nutrients such as nitrogen, sulphur, carbon and phosphorous being transferred from the ocean to wildlife such as bears, eagles and other waterfowl. These nutrients are also washed downstream into estuaries where they provide further support for breeding birds and other animals.
A few readers wished they could get the Google Chrome browser for their cellphones.
