My sister and I spent part of this afternoon – my last day in Victoria – at Fisherman’s Wharf. We dined at Barb’s, enjoying some of the best fish and chips, tartar sauce, and coleslaw I’ve ever tasted… wandered around looking at the colourful floating homes… and checked out the marine life. Along those lines, today’s happiness is brought to you by one of the most adorable seals ever, whose face and whiskers and antics thoroughly delighted us both. Definitely happy-making!




Now, on to the first half of my photos for the October Photo A Day Challenge!
I’ve been sharing my photos on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and the FMS Photo A Day group on Facebook, but thought I’d also periodically do a round-up of my photos here on Alphabet Salad for the benefit of my readers who aren’t active on any of these platforms.
Hope you enjoy!
(Clicking on any of the photos below will take you to my Flickr account… and, depending on your browser, hovering over them will give you – in some cases – an explanation as to how I interpreted the prompt.)

Love the “photo a day” challenge! Cute pix! I really love the picture of the blue/purple floating home. It looks like it could be a 1000-piece puzzle (which I love doing).

Love Barbs. The best seafood anywhere. Love the oysters and all the houseboats. When I was a kid Fisherman’s Wharf was just a place to buy fresh fish from the fisherman.
I also love the breakwater. I remember it before it had a rail. You always took your life into your hands when you went on it. You might get blown off. That was part of the fun!

I first lived in Victoria many years ago, and have the same memories of Fisherman’s Wharf (and the breakwater)! Fisherman’s Wharf really has been developed and built into quite a community over the past number of years.
