visiting Reg on Vancouver Island
Reg took my Dad and I out to lunch at The Shipyard, Maple Bay.
On a sunny February day, we toured the Marina.
Next we drove down the road to Genoa Bay.
why am I running?
For some bizarre reason — lately — I’ve been “running” for up to 2hrs, several times / week. Must be endorphins.
I jog most of the time. Listening to my book on audio. And stopping frequently to take photos.
One of the best days was at Englishman River Falls Provincial Park near my parent’s place in Parksville, B.C.
Turns out ‘winter’ in the Pacific N.W. is beautiful.

in Machu Picchu
I’d completely forgotten about this excellent photo taken by my buddy George Novak. We were two of the first few visitors in the gate this day … a few years ago.
Here’s another of George’s Machu Picchu pics.
THANKS George.
World Parrot Refuge, Coombs, B.C.
Boxing Day the McCharles clan headed for one of the highlights of Vancouver Island, the World Parrot Refuge.
The Refuge has over 800 parrots, a dedicated team of staff and volunteer carers, and 23,000 square feet of heated indoor free-flight aviaries with plans for 16,000 square feet of easily accessed outdoor flights for the warmer months. ..
It was a blast. Only $12 / person entrance fee.
Virtual Adoption is one way to sponsor a parrot. Another is to buy a parrot painting (VIDEO) … that’s a painting painted by a parrot, by the way.
The Year in Photos
Debris crushed a car outside the Christchurch Catholic Cathedral after an earthquake rocked Christchurch, New Zealand, on Tuesday, February 22, 2011. The 6.3-magnitude quake hit at the height of a busy workday, toppling tall buildings and churches, crushing buses and killing dozens of people in one of the country’s worst natural disasters.

Mom was surprised and pleased to be able to get all 3 sons to Christmas out on the left coast.
