A beautiful b&b down the street from my place, The Lodge at the Old Dorm.
This mute swan attacked me! That beak was at perfect pecking level if you know what I mean. I was doing Irish Riverdancing for the first time in my life trying to save the boys from a painful encounter.
I saw the swan the night it was killed in February. The local vet said there were canine teeth marks on the swan's neck. He was found washed up on the beach.
There is a beast roaming the forests of Bowen. They think it is an abandoned hybrid wolf-dog doing what it can to survive by eating chickens, cats, dogs, and even mauled deer have been found. One man discovered the "beast' eating the belly of his sheltie and was too late to save it.

Curried chicken wrap from the Snug Coffee Shop in Snug Cove. They have very good Bowen roasted coffee and friendly service.
Meet Felix. He is a 10 year old home invader who has bullied his way into my home and won't leave me alone.
I found out who his human was and we have had quite the email correspondence and have met as we tried to get Felix to go home.
He is coming to live in Calgary with me with his human's blessing.

Happy spring! I had pansies blooming all winter in this window box sheltered on the south side of the house. The night after I took this picture, a deer hopped the fence and ate all the pansies.

Bowen is being explored as possibly becoming Canada's newest National Park. Whether it becomes a park or not, it shows that it is regarded as a special place worth preserving.
I'm leaving Bowen for Calgary Alberta, but I'll be back here in July! Thanks for having a look at the photos.
