another fundraiser, woohoo, and a lovely gift

1 The River Run is a fundraiser for the Mid Vancouver Island Habitat Society. It's a 5km run through the woods and along the riverbanks. It's a small crowd this morning, maybe 200 people but lots of enthusiasm and laughter along the way.
2 Personal best today for the 5km. Now that is something to celebrate.
3 New friends give me a lovely gift of a coffee table book about Eagles and Owls. She says she is happy to give the book to me and that she thinks my photos are in the same league.
