There’s a lot going on in that little head that we’ll never know.

I’ve said it before:  this dog enjoys a view.  He’ll sit for 10 or 20 minutes when he finds a spot he likes.  So when we reach a panorama such as this (and there’s quite a few stunners here on Pender),  it’s time to sit back, relax and chill while we commit this snapshot in time to memory.   I’ve learned a lot about living in the moment from my little sensei here.

Just add Zen Master Douglas to his long list of monikers.

Today, we have a gorgeous view of Saturna — the vineyard is the cleared patch on the right side of the island — from one of our favourite (somewhat) secret picnic spots.

I’ll let you guess which one of us spent our time here dreaming about a chilled glass of their Blanc de Noir.  Perhaps I wasn’t strictly in the moment, but I’m always up for a glass of wine while walking the path to enlightenment.
