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

Hope you and Mrs P had a good time

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.

Great pics Steve. Glad you had a good break.

I assume that's your set of wheels in #4?

I can only wish.

Do you recognise it?

You should put your hat on in picture three.

That wasn't me, I can only wish I had as much hair as he does.

Not really. Is it a Bentley?

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

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.

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.

I loved the photos, the house was gorgeous. We plan to have a good look around Vancouver Island it's beautiful.
