Hi,

Just been on the NZ forum they have a "great NZ picture thread", I was wondering if there is anyone out there who would mind sharing some photos of Canada with us. It would really help people like me (who haven't even been there yet) get an idea of what life in Canada is like.

Anyone got any pictures?...



Hi :)

Took these yesterday and wanted to share them :o

Hi jempee................another photo for you ;)
I took my friend up to Mt Washington today (Mon) & guess what we saw? ....... another bear :rofl: that make 6 separate sightings this week

She loved the fact that we were playing in the snow at 11am & sat on the beach enjoying the sunshine at noon..................she knows I've been struggling with homesickness & says I 'don't know I'm born', having the opportunity to live here :o :confused_smile:

hi there!....LOVE your photos!!

i was on the island this past weekend...and didnt see a bear...however! just found out there was a tiger cub running loose in Lake Cowichan where we were..and we didn't know...LOL....i dont' know what would be worse..a bear or a tiger!!...and who would think a flipping Tiger would be running round loose in Canada.....:ohmy:

We had lunch in Nanaimo...what a lovely place it is!!! we caught the later ferry this time and got it for half price!..pays to check those ferry schedules and costs.

Took these couple of photos at Campbell River. realy liked it up there too..in fact all that area is beautiful and the people are so freindly!!!

these photos are of the chainsaw wood carvings from the yearly competion. there is lots of these beautiful carvings down along the main drag of Campbell river.
