I figured since I haven't posted any real pictures in here for quite a while, I'd go for a walk with my camera today, and snap a bunch of new ones. Oak Bay seemed like a good choice, since it was close to my house, and I haven't really wandered around there much. Just a quick 30 or 40 minute jaunt around town. Good plan, right?

The obligatory bad picture of myself, complete with some brand-spanking-new freckles. The wind was so strong, it nearly blew me off the rock I was sitting on. Scared the Bejesus out of me!

I wandered around the waterfront on Beach Road for a while. I got some strange looks from people, seeing as I was on my own just snapping pictures of anything an everything. But an old man came up to me and said "I bet your photos turn out beautifully! Today is a perfect day for it!" Sweetest old man of my entire life.

I saw a Heron!.... At least, I think it's a heron! Haha. Anyone? Bueller?

I stopped on a bench outside the Oak Bay Marina and sat for a little bit, and I decided that I'd better start my way back home. It was then I realized that I wasn't quite sure where home was. Yikes. Lost in Oak Bay. Dun dun dunnnnn!

The sky started to get dark and I was pretty sure I was going to get rained on. I was pretty annoyed by this point. Who gets lost in Oak Bay? Really? Only me, I swear. I kept walking, thinking "I must be getting close to home now!"... And sure enough...

I ended up back at the Oak Bay Marina! Ahh! By this time I'd been walking around for 3 hours and was getting awfully tired! Fortunately, I found a street I recognized and found my way home... Oh, and I found something else, too! See....

Hey Dad, I know what I want for my birthday! Hehe!
