Two ways about it

Posted on 1/30/2021 03:16:00 PM by

Two ways about it. A week or so ago, I snapped this on a hike. I love this part of the trail on Royal Roads University grounds, called Charlie's trail. Especially in the winter season when there is just a lot of water everywhere. It comes to life!.

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..

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.

Bike Parking

Posted on 1/28/2020 10:57:00 PM by

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

Posted on 11/16/2019 12:43:00 PM by

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..

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

Posted on 4/03/2019 12:09:00 AM by

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.

Ready for the Wedding

Ready for the Wedding. Inside of Hatley castle there are some gardens, and low and behond a place for poeple to get married. This walkway veranda was pretty awesome. Who wouldn't want to get married here?.

Hatley from the Gardens

Posted on 8/06/2018 10:42:00 PM by

Hatley from the Gardens. Hately Castle is one of the coolest landmarks in Victoria. Technically it's in Colwood, but it's appeared on many different movies, my favourites being X-Men with Xavier's School for the Gifted, or Deadpool. Today we ventured into the manicured gardens off to the side of the castle and got a brilliant view. I thought it best to share..

I See You

Posted on 6/25/2018 01:59:00 AM by

I See You. Visited the Butterfly Gardens here in Victoria and this parrot became very friendly. So much that it was sitting on my wife's arm for a bit. I believe he flew down and landed on the bench next to us, looked right at me, and said "you better snap these pics.". Either that or he said "hold my beer". I can't decided..
