The 49th parallel jogs down and misses the tip of Vancouver Island. Don't know why they didn't do the same to Point Roberts....which is a piece of the USA by which you can only go to it (unless by water or air) through Canada and two border crossings.
Anyway.

The wedding was well worth the trip.
She was just like a princess.

| Blossoms, and the Wedding party walking down the pathway in Beacon Hill Park |
 |
| The Men in the Wedding party. They looked more like Secret Agents This is the back side of the Parliament Buildings |
And speaking of princesses....one of the guests was the old college room mate of Prince William.
Apparently, at a night out, knowing that Kate would one day be Queen, this fellow "groped her bum" during a dance, just to say that he did.
So much for Royal Treatment.

| The delightful tiny cupcakes that formed the Wedding cake |
The party was fun.....and the food superb!
A small party of us went to take photos in Beacon Hill Park. If you have never been to Victoria - make sure you get there one day.

| Ducklings! so cute! Took this with my telephoto lens standing 20 feet away Didn't want to make their mamma mad by getting too close! |
We were thankful for the wee bit of sun that peeked through while the photos were being taken.
A whirlwind trip.....but well worth it!

| The ferry we took was between Tsawwaasen and Swartz Bay going through Active Pass between Galiano and Mayne Islands |

Such gorgeous pictures. You've inspired me to take a walk in the neighborhood to take some photos. I'm glad the trip was a good one.
