I'm more likely to quiver and endure. Didn't have to do either on Friday, as we didn't feel the earthquake at all.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-84132077499940994492011-09-11T08:39:09.194-07:002011-09-11T08:39:09.194-07:00By the way, did you feel the earthquake on Friday?...By the way, did you feel the earthquake on Friday?Weird in edgewisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314111344887318425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-4017028668899353432011-09-11T08:38:17.870-07:002011-09-11T08:38:17.870-07:00My husband sat out on the balcony with the camera,...My husband sat out on the balcony with the camera, taking photos of lightning for an hour.

As we were gazing out onto the ocean what should wander past but the largest pod of dolphins that I have ever seen! Must have been 30-40 of them! Pretty sure that sealed it for me and now I am destined to live on the ocean.girl on a little islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174474840815112762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-64963147764653930372011-09-01T19:27:38.729-07:002011-09-01T19:27:38.729-07:00Wowee wow!!

My brother lives outside of Victoria. The first time I visited him there, I saw comet Hale-Bopp, an eclipse of the moon, wild peacocks, an otter (I think), endless streets of trees in pale pink bloom. I felt like Dorothy in the land of Oz, but did NOT want to go home.Weird in edgewisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314111344887318425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-85167592070381228612011-09-01T06:16:37.564-07:002011-09-01T06:16:37.564-07:00Susan: They took about ten minutes to move through...Susan: They took about ten minutes to move through our view, so I was able to get a few photos to choose from.<br />Sue: Pretty freaking exciting!<br />Tiffany: Humpbacks?
