Until Dusk

Posted on 7/23/2021 07:14:00 PM by

Until Dusk. Had a vacation on Quadra Island at a cottage on a lake. My dog (pictured) didn't get out of the water until after the sun went down. Usually the sky was bare, but on this particular night it looked like it was exploded..

Gushing

Posted on 1/23/2021 05:16:00 PM by

Gushing. On one of our common hikes today, I took along my SLR to see what I could capture. Sadly the family didn't want to put up with the time it takes to tripod, but a few of the images turned out anyways. I had previously captured this on my iPhone..

Overflow

Overflow. 2020 was a year to spend with the family, 2021 is back to making new content. Figured I'd start with this small waterfall at the bottom of Francis King park here in Victoria's capital region district..

Full Moon Rise

Full Moon Rise. Full Moon rise over Squamish BC. This was shot after the sun went down as the moon started to rise. It was magical sitting on the balcony, I took a bunch of shots before I told my family the moon was out! Tee hee!.

Social Distancing Arbutus

Social Distancing Arbutus. Been spending a lot of time in the woods these days for mental sanity, and it seems that there are even some trees adhereing to social distancing recommendations. Like this lone Arbutus.

A life Twisted

A life Twisted. Last weekend went for a hike and found this arbutus tree that seems to be confused about which way is up. Just twisting like a cork screw out to the salty inlet. I thought it was pretty cool..

Coming Round the Mountain

Posted on 10/15/2019 11:44:00 PM by

Coming Round the Mountain. Back in the summer we visited the BC Forestry centre in Duncan, and they had an awesome, working steam engine that travelled around on a small loop. Only a bit of waiting and you can see this train lumbering through the woods at a super slow pace..

HeadSpace Spot

HeadSpace Spot. I spent a lot of time running through Thetis Lake Park here on Vancouver Island. I usually run with my GoPro and on this particular day I got lost and found a lovely waterfall. If I wasn't on a run for exercise, I probably would have done some headspace mediation at this spot. Would you?.

Tide Changes

Tide Changes. On a hike earlier in the year I took this picture at Witty's Lagoon. I was wondering what these upright logs were for. The lagoon almost completely drains, so it's likely not an old dock. Do you know what they are for?.

Bridge over Troubled Water (Landscape)

Posted on 1/27/2019 09:21:00 PM by

Bridge over Troubled Water (Landscape). Took a short hike today down the otherside of Witty's Lagoon trail, it was quite nice and I got a few water falls out of it. This particular one was captivating, and I ended up spending 20-30 minutes crawling around on the rocks and logs at the bottm. Managed to avoid a soaker as well!.

8 Maids a Milking

Posted on 12/16/2018 01:29:00 AM by

8 Maids a Milking. The Buchart Gardens really does a magical transformation of their gardens into a Christmas wonderland this time of year. So much so that the park is more packed after 5pm than it is before. For the kids, they have a scavenger hunt to find the 12 days of Christmas. I thought the "8 maids a milking" looked pretty ghostly under the tree branches. What are your thoughts?.

Token Red Tree

Posted on 10/15/2018 10:09:00 PM by

Token Red Tree. Ah the fall colours in BC, the ever-green province. One thing I miss from living in Ontario is the plethora of fall colours. But here in BC you get the ocean, and a single red tree with a crisp breeze (not pictured ;o) ) to indicate fall.

Steel and Steam vs Wood and Green

Posted on 8/12/2018 11:02:00 PM by

Steel and Steam vs Wood and Green. Today we visited the BC Forest Discovery Centre, which featured a steam engine that we got to ride on. I personally enjoyed trying to capture it as it cut through the green forestry. Star Wars, the original series, had natural colours as "good" (The Rebels) and hard metal colours as bad (The Empire). Kind of the same here. Which is good and which is evil to you? Or is it just a train?.
