Social Distancing Arbutus

Posted on 4/03/2020 10:17:00 PM by

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.

Bike Parking

Bike Parking. Last night I had the pleasure of shooting with a friend from out of town and we dodged rain drops and did the best we could in this wet month of January. I was happy how this one truned out. The Parking sign was a bit of an eye sore, but I managed to weasle it into my theme here..

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

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..

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)

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!.

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?.

Red Little Man

Red Little Man. I was on a hike today with my family and we were out in the woods on Royal Roads University property and I rounded one of the corners on the path, and felt like someone was watching me. I looked around and found this little red man was!.

Preparing to Decend into the Cloud

Preparing to Decend into the Cloud. I was out snowboarding this past weekend, and I had my GoPro with me. The neat thing was that we started at the bottom of the hill and could barely see 100 feet, it was sooo foggy. about half the way up it cleared up completely, and it was pretty breathtaking above the clouds!

On the Board Walk

Posted on 10/06/2013 02:25:00 PM by


On the Board Walk. Put my camera right down on the Sydney Pier on Vancouver Island to take this one. I did a previous shot like this with my phone for my Project365, edited with Instagram and wanted to do it again with my Canon5DMII. I think it turned out just as good, if not a little better. What do you think? View the larger version on Flickr

Kinsol Trestle

Kinsol Trestle. The Kinsole Trestle, now part of the Canadian Hiking Trails, is the largest train trestle in the commonwealth (and Canada) and one of the largest in the world. Sitting on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, it makes for a great little easy hike and visit. View the larger version on Flickr
