some places never leave you...

the breakwater (ogden point) in victoria bc is one of those places for me. as i was going through some old and new pictures for another blog post i can across these images and it brought back so many fond memories of  fishing with my father when i was a little girl...oh the sea life i would find, the rocks i tossed, the fishing durby i won, eating my mom's masa (portuguese sweet bread) on the rocks and oh the people i would imagine i was!

who needed video games and tv when you had real life adventures to live!

if you haven't been yet, go check it out!

 

 

that's me winning my first fishing durby, i made the front page of the paper that day...what a thrill for an 11 year old!

and now it's come full circle...that's che' (my daughter) pretty much the same age i was when i first started going with my dad and holding a starfish she found.  the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

 

 

HOLY CRAP THURSDAY'S

ME: "mom, can you take a picture of che' and me please. it's all set up and ready to go just half press the button".

 

ME:  "let's see!  how did that one turned out?  well mom, that sucked! let's try this again, please and thank you"!

 

ME: "how's that one?  seriously!!????, it's all set up mom...try not to move the camera to the left so much"

 

ME:  "MOM!! are you joking, NOOO that one's NOT good either, were not in focus... again".

 

ME: "HOLY CRAP MOM, this one sucks too!"

ME:  "ummm... NO i don't think it looks good, were out of focus!  every single one is OUT OF FOCUS, the rocks look great...Oh now your playing the {i'm a senior} card...mom, you suck at this.  YES, i'll keep the shots, only to show how blind you've become.  omg, you think that picture looks good?, christ it's worse then i thought"!
