Here are four shots from our current trip to Vancouver Island.

Some more to follow but not many this year. ;)

Enjoy.:)

You've done it again Steve, fabby pics as usual. I love the last one- where was that taken?

And the first looks as though it should have a caption of some sort underneath it :thumbup:

Hope you and Mrs P had a good time :wub:

Thank you kind lady.:)

The last two were taken in Milner Gardens and the first two at Pacific Northwest Raptors

The little guy in the first photo is a Spectacled Owl and his name is Elton.:)

We leave in the morning for home, it's been a good trip. I needed the break.

Not really. Is it a Bentley?

It's a Humber Pullman, 1947, same age as me.:ohmy: :eek:

At least it has 1947 on the same bar as the AA badge.

Ah. I would never have guessed a Humber.

My Dad had a 1965 Humber Super Snipe....

Nice, but not as nice as the one in your photo.

Your Dad had a CAR! Dead swanky.

I thought you lived in a shoebox when you were young?

Me neither.

I was somewhat surprised to see that, very spiff looking.:rolleyes:

Interesting aside, many moons ago I worked for Shell Canada in Edmonton and the building we worked in was the Milner Building which was also occupied by the law firm Milner, Steer etc. I often saw old man Milner in the elevator lobby.

Turns out he used to own the estate which is now known as Milner Gardens, that's likely his Humber.;)

I really don't know what gave you that impression. ;)
