This big fat bee was just one highlight of our fantastic spring afternoon adventure today.

A walk on the dike in Steveston,

Halibut 'n' chips on the beach,

then a drive through some Delta farmlands. Wine-tasting stops at two local wineries. At the Sanduz Estates winery, bought some blackberry honey, a dry blueberry wine, blueberry dessert wine, and a blueberry merlot. They grow all their berries right there on the farmland behind their winery. At the Lulu Island winery we picked up shiraz and a petit verdot, both of which are a blend of Okanagan and local-berry wines.
