極端に暑く、雨の振らない日が続きます。そのせいで、私の住む西海岸のBC州では現在180もの山火事が発生。煙はメトロバンクーバーの町も多い、匂いまでします。そろそろ雨が欲しい所です。
It's been extremely hot and dry for a while here in BC, so we have gotten 180 wildfires alone in BC due to this climate. Sky is hazy by smoke and I can smell it too. We desperate for rain fall.
さて、週末の出来事を金曜日から行きます。月が奇麗なので、一眼レフで写真を取り行きたいと言う夫と、月が昇る１０時過ぎに川へ。まずは夕焼けの最後を見て、
Well, here, talk about happenings in the weekend.
My husband insisted to go for taking picture of the moon in Friday night, so we went to the bridge and took a picture of sunset first. It was around 10.
橋の上からは木が邪魔で、地平線から顔を出したての大きな月が見えないと分かったので、他の場所へ移動して、この写真をとりました。オレンジ色の大きな月でした。
It turned out that we wouldn't be able to see the moon there because of trees so we moved place. And the moon rose as a huge orange moon. He took this picture with his SLR camera.
お家に帰ってから夜中のデザート。自作の抹茶小寒天。そう、寒天だから遅くても良い事にします。
Then we went back home and had midnight dessert. I made this with agar, instead of gelatine, and matcha, and azuki beans. Should I feel guilty but it was okay because of agar which has no calorie? lol

そして土曜日の夕方は、翌日がお誕生日夫のお祝いで、いつもの川の本流際にあるパブ、メープルリッジのキングフィッシャーへ。フェリーがあった頃は、フォートラングレーからはごく近所だったはずですが、今は大きな橋が出来てフェリーが無くなったので、大回りで３０分。早く行ったので、パティオの良い席をゲット！今年も一緒に祝えて幸せです。
In Saturday evening, we went to Kingfisher pub, where was my husband favourite in Maple ridge, the other side of main stream of Fraser river. It was for my husband's birthday celebration. Since the ferry across the river was gone we had to go around to take a new bridge to go there. Anyways, we got a perfect table on the patio. I was a lucky girl to be able to celebrate this wonderful man's BD in this year again.
そして目の前の川に、シャケを負って来たアザラシ君発見！ラッキーです。
Another luckiness happened! We saw a seal who came long way chasing salmons to the river, right in front of us.
一旦お家に帰ってから、近所のトレイルを自転車で走りに行く事に。
After that we went back to home once and headed to nearby river trail for biking.
まだ書いてなかったけど、先日中古の自転車をゲットしたんです。私のはこれ。
I haven't talked about it yet but we have gotten second-hand bikes on craigslist the other day. Mine is like this!
川沿いのトレイルをビュンビュン飛ばします。
Biking hard to the river side trail.
キャンプ場もあります。そしてしばらく行くと．．．
passed a camping site and...
こんな方と遭遇！フクロウ君。
We encountered this guy, an owl!!
近くまで歩いていっても逃げません。じーっと見下ろされてます。そのお顔はどこか懐かしい。あ、そうだ私の猫ちゃんにそっくり（笑）彼の生まれ変わりかしら。素敵な出会いでした。
It seemed not intimidated by us at all and staring at us. I felt that its face was familiar to me so I thought that if my beloved cat was reincarnated in it. lol. It was so wonderful!
そしてトレイルの突き当たりはなんとも美しい場所。楽しいバイクライディングででした。
And the end of the tail was magnificent. It was a great bike riding.

さて、日曜日。弟の家へ。車で３０分。
On Sunday, we visited my brother's where 30min drive from us.
彼手作りのプールです。甥っ子はシュノーケリングに夢中（笑）
His hand made swimming pool. My nephew was crazy about snorkelling. lol.
そしてメインイベントの流し素麺。
And the mine invent was this, Nagashi-somen, which was Japanese summer fun cuisine, say like noodle stream?? lol
事前に夫にはレクチャー済み。事情は理解してもなんとなくピンと来ていなかった様子ですが、すぐ夢中に！（笑）。楽しいし、美味しいし、涼しいし、彼はまたまた一歩、日本文化ファンに近づきました（笑）
I lectured my husband what and how before hand and he understood but not really made sense. However, as soon as we started it he got into it! It was fun, yummy, and good way to cool down. He has became one step closer to a Japanese culture expert!? lol
そしてなんと、熊さん登場！
And a bear showed up!
この距離感。でももう慣れっこな甥はチラッと見ただけ。もちろん近づき過ぎたら要注意ですが、熊の方も私達には全く感心んを示しません。義理妹曰く、グーガー（アメリカライオン）が出たらアニマルコントロールに通報するかもだけど、熊はいいや、だそうです。
Look at this distance. My nephew just glanced at it because he totally got used to it. If the encounter was too close, of course you had to be careful though but a bear wasn't even care of us. My sister-in-law said that a bear was okay but if it was a cougar she must call an animal control.
あれ、また野生動物か！？
Oh? another wild animal!?
いや、この方でした。野生児（笑）
Well, it was her, a wild kid. lol
