Wanderings on a Tuesday & another beautiful sunset

ME!

Oak Bay Marina

Nothing makes me happier after a long day at work to go home and nest with my family, particularly in the winter months.  We haven't really started winter yet and we are already longing for the warm days of spring and summer.  Autumn in Victoria is spectacular with all the beautiful colors of the trees lining most residential streets.  Today was just another ordinary Tuesday and I was slogging it out behind the keyboard, all the while looking out the window and wishing I could play in the sunshine.  Lucy as usual was calling from her basement parking spot nagging to come play and ride twisties.  On the way home I decided to go the scenic route that I love to take.  I never ever get tired of looking at sunsets and the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca.  The sun was dancing off the water and I know shortly we won't be seeing her as much because old man Winter wants to grip the Pacific Northwest in his frozen grasp.  Personally I could say "Buh bye" to old man winter and honestly I don't think I would miss it that much.  I did 17 years worth of winters up north and that was enough to last me a lifetime.  Hope you enjoy the pictures from my tootle home.

Tofino Fogust sunsets on McKenzie beach

The month of August is dubbed Fogust in Tofino.  Generally during this month there is unstable air or marine fog hovering around the area and it creates a gentle blanket of fog.  Usually it creeps in during the night and the mornings are foggy, but it seems to clear in the afternoon or early evening just in time for the sun to set.  Most of the time we spent in Tofino it was grey with fog.  We had about 3 really lovely sunny days and the rest were warm and foggy.  

                                                                              So happy Fogust to y'all!
