The crest of BC Ferries (a reminder that Queen Elizabeth II is Monarch, i.e., Head of State, of the Commonwealth Nation of Canada. "[T]he Monarch is advised solely by Canadian federal and provincial ministers. Effective with the Constitution Act, 1982, no British or other Realm government can advise the Monarch on any matters pertinent to Canada." [Wikepedia]):

I wanted to continue looking at the beautiful scenery, but we were asked to lower the window shades on the plane so they could show a movie. When the movie was over, we were flying over heavy cloud cover just north of Phoenix.

I know you're sad to leave BC twice, first in June and now here, on your blog. It's been delightful seeing your photos of such an interesting and beautiful region.
What a beautiful photos and place Pam. Sounds you had a wonderful trip.
Pam, I've really enjoyed the tour you invited us on by posting about your trip, along with beautiful photographs. I hope you keep a collection of your posts for the scrapbook.
As I have noted previously, I have really enjoyed your write-up of your BC and Alberta holiday. One day I hope to get over there myself ... See me day-dreaming!? :)
