Wow, I wish the hydrangeas in our yard looked like this.

Connie Furgason's Class
Sorry, my calligraphy is very sloppy here, but I'm happy with my first try of a stone walkway and a brick wall. And the pots--nothing a little practice won't cure.

Shawnigan Lake School Dining Hall
Our Conference was held at the Shawnigan Lake School. Outdoor picture to follow, since I took the best photos on the last day.
Jane, Sylvia, Linda at a meal.
Victoria
After an hour and a half ride, we pulled into Victoria. We loaded from the back of the ferry and drove out the side.
Our Ferry Arrives
It appeared out of the heavy fog . . .
There were two cars ahead of us and they contained calligraphers headed for Island Magic, the 2007 international Calligraphy conference, also. One was Christine Anderson who I had met on the last day of the 2006 conference in Virginia.
Bandy's Troll Haven
There is an entire area developed in this theme, with a few upscale houses sprinkled here and there in between the troll houses.
Sequim Lavendar Farm
The other areas have wineries. Sequim has lavendar farms. Beautiful, and they smell good, too.
We were in town during the start of the Lavendar Festival. This photo is taken in the evening after the farm closed for the evening.
Dungeness River Railroad Bridge
In Sequim, Washington, where Debbie Powell visited Linda and Tim O'Neill. Debbie flew in from Orange County, CA and I flew from Amsterdam.
They spend the weekend on their boats
One thing I noticed is that the Copenhagen residents spend the weekends on their boats. They often don't even take them out, they just spend time on them. On one boat, the man and woman were sitting in the seats in the morning when I passed by and they were still there in the late afternoon, when I came back--they were both pretty tan :-)
Note the swan and ducks hanging around under the boat on the left. The man was just feeding the swan who can reach up high enough to take it and the ducks seem to be hoping for something to come their way.
Our Savior's Church
This church has stairs around the OUTSIDE of the spire. I didn't have a chance to climb them, but I'll bet it's quite a view.
Christianshavn - the most beautiful neighborhoos
I thought Christianshavn was the most beautiful neighborhood that I encountered in Copenhagen, although the others certainly had a lot of pretty great spots.
Restaurant Signage
This is obviously a restaurant, based on the fork and spoon hanging off the building, but I have no idea what the writing says. It's fun, anyway.
Coppenhagen building
Each of the windows is topped with a different carved face. The building is longer than shown in this picture.
The view from Karen's apartment
I apartment-sat for Karen, who just moved to Leiden, but had to go back to Pasadena for six weeks to finish their quarterly closing. It was really nice being downtown, although I got home really late most nights and didn't get to enjoy it for as much time as I would have really liked.
It is a corner apartment with views of canals on both sides. Lots of great windows.
Lettering on store in Old Pasadena
I've always liked the lettering on this store and finally got a good photo of it. We actually have a lot of very nice signage in the U.S.
