Carly's version of convocation

Sorry for the second post but I wanted to post my version of convocation. Here I am just after being hooded by the president of the University (black and white). The lady starting to clap is the chancellor.

And this is outside of convocation where I am holding the UBC mace which opens and closes ceremonies. It was carved by Bill Reid and it was very heavy.

Carly's Convocation

The graduation ceremony was quite impressive and Carly thought this was some hat!!

Hiking in B.C.

Carly, Bert and I spent the day at Lynn Valley which is the area where the Capillana Suspension Bridge is.

We have arrived!

We arrived here just after lunch and already have a big load of Carly's stuff in our trailer. What a collection of books and dvd's that girl has!

First pear tree to bloom

One of our pear trees is blooming and it seems to have a lot of blooms this year. Unfortunately the pears never taste good no matter when I pick them. I keep experimenting with the right time to pick them. This tree is a "John" type of pear. Our others are Bartletts and a Bosc. So far I haven't had much luck with any of the five pear trees that we have! They are one of the reasons that we started beekeeping!
