Nanaimo Weekend ReCap

Just 'Ducky'

One of the Morrell Wildlife Sanctuary residents takes a leisurely cruise on the pond among the reeds on a grand Sunday afternoon. Guess this guy's not going to Florida for the winter!

Anglers Try Their Luck

Anglers enjoy a sun drenched afternoon dipping a line by the Nanaimo Waterworks on Nanaimo Lakes Road. The stocked pond did not yield any supper while we were present, but on an afternoon like this, a fish is just a bonus anyway.
