Treasure Hunt Photos!

My pal Beanie Mouse hosted a Treasure Hunt contest for May. I did a bit of scrambling and... came up with some photos. But yarn on a pole??? Seriously?

1. Manhole/Drain Cover

This one is pretty darn cool I think. That's supposed to be the moon. There was another one with the sun in the middle.

2/ Graffit'd Cable Box
 We do them kind of special out here...

3. Graffit'd Wall
Eagles you know... and ocean and arbutus trees!

4. Metal dropped on sidewalk.
A bolt... or is it a nut? I hope it's not important from someone's bike or car!

5. Abandoned Book
We found this book on the ferry last year... can't find the picture for the life of me... soooo...

6. Button on Sidewalk
This one has a griffin on it! I think... it could be a lion. It's tiny!

7. Knitting attached to lamp post/tree/etc.
Errr... no such creatures here... but this gnome house might have knitting inside. I knocked but no one came to the door... Does that count?

8. Yellow Bike
Hah!! A motor-bike

9. Flag up a Flag Pole
Yep... there they are....

10. Skull (with or without crossbones)
It's a deer skull... without crossbones! But has antlers instead!

11. Bonus - Metal Sculpture from bits and bobs

Sandy... the Orca Rider!

Neat, eh?

Whew! Done! And just under the wire... at least Pacific Time...

Back Online... I hope.

Ok... are we ready... argh? What is it with these vertical coloured bars... ***whacking noise***

Hello? Are we live?? Ugh... ***more whacking noises***

Oh... well... that's no better... let me just... urgh... thump this... mmph... darn thing again... *whack*

That's better... let me just... adjust.... the angle a bit...

Ack!!! Static and colour bars!!! Just one more time now... *whack*

Wait... hold it right there... that's perfect... now just carefully zoom out a bit.... They can practically see my nose hairs...

And just a wee bit more....

Perfect... ah-hem...

Sandy Bear here! I know, it's been ages since I've posted anything. Combination of sekrebeary issues (they get sooooo easily stressed and overwhelmed you know)... busy spring... visitors and goodness knows what else. Anyhow... I am hoping we have the kinks ironed out for now. Good help is soooo hard to find.

Before I catch up on all my adventures... and I have been having adventures (just no blogging of those same adventures!)... I got some mail today!! It's a card from Astrobear Ajdin... He's found the Space Shuttle finally! I wonder if he's going on the Mars expedition?? It would be great if he could be the First Bear in Space. Assuming of course that none of those other people ever took one of their bears into space... you never know...

Thanks Ajdin!!!

Farewell Victoria

Sigh... it was a great trip. We ended it by driving to the top of Mount Douglas - a great view from here. You can see all the way to the Olympic Peninsula...

I didn't see even a fraction of what Victoria has to offer... it would be a great location for a Stuffie Tour!

Hope you enjoyed the trip with me!
