Me Me on the Beach

Hubby and I were able to plan a last minute get-away for our anniversary weekend. I'm rather short on outfit photos as a result. The closest is this one of me on the beach:



I hope to be back next Monday with an actual outfit to share. Until then, a few more beach pictures courtesy of my wonderful Hubby.






Linking up with Patti and all the lovely women over at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday. Head on over and see what they're wearing.

Sand, Salt and Salmon

Hubby and I went to see the sand sculptures in Parksville today. Tomorrow is the last day of the exhibition, and the weather was fine, so we thought we'd  go while we had the chance. Here are some photos for those of you who couldn't make it to the event.  Enjoy!

We were greeted with a smile.
Footprints in the sand trap.
Egads!
Troll under the bridge.

If only every eagle would pose so nicely!
What's a sand sculpture competition without a sandcastle?

Or two?

Earth bender.  Got my vote!
Scaled creatures certainly seem to enjoy the sun.

After we admired the sculptures we walked the beach until we got to this point.


Seemed like a sign to head home.  We had to start thinking about dinner anyway.



We tried our newly-acquired Maple Smoked Rock Salt tonight.  Hubby rubbed organic canola oil and a scant 1/4 tsp of the salt on each side of wild Pacific sockeye salmon steaks.  He then barbequed the steaks for about 4 minutes a side.  Perfection.  I'm not ashamed to say I licked my plate clean; it was that good!
