Welcome to the inaugual "My World Tuesday" hosted by Klaus. This looks like it'll be a really interesting meme for those of you who enjoy travelling. It will be a kind of "virtual travel" spot where we will post photographs of our own home areas. Go on over to Klaus's website to read more about it, join in, or even just to view participants' photos. My first offering is this one that I took around this time last year along one of the tributaries of the Fraser River. I live in the delta of the mighty Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada, that the explorer and fur trader Simon Fraser followed back in 1808 all the way to its mouth that flows into the Gulf of Georgia, a part of the Pacific Ocean. His exploratory efforts were partly responsible for Canada's boundary being established at the 49th parallel (after the War of 1812), since he, as a British subject, was the first European to establish permanent settlements in the area. Nowadays, you'll often see rowers out on the many tributaries, practising for everything from school meets to the Olympics, which by the way will be held in Vancouver in 2010.

I read your profile and I have to say, that my older daughter is now a young widow too with two children. I think, it could be good to speak with you about those things or read your book !

You do live in an area that I could easily have been "transplanted" to.

Hi Leslie!
Doesnt this look like fun? It will be interesting to see what differences or similarities our posts will provide! There is such a vast variety of scenery here that I dont think we will ever risk loading a duplicate photo.
