Hi Folks: This image was made on April 7, down at Clover Point and looking back toward Victoria. I was out for a walk that day without my camera, but the wind was really blowing and the clouds were just incredible so I made a number of images using my Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: March has been a busy month for us, but we did take one day toward the end of the month and head ‘up island’ to Cathedral Grove. A part of MacMillan Provincial Park, Cathedral Grove has been ‘gentrified’ to provide easy access to a stand of several-hudred-year-old Douglas Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: Here we are, with the first week of March come and gone already and we have yet to do a ‘Photo of the Month’ post for February! Egads!! I do have something to share with you, but it has less to do with a particular photograph and more Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: I didn’t do a lot of photography this past month, but did escape down to the shore for a bit one afternoon. I love the endless patterns in the way the water meets the shore, and have photographed it with varying degrees of success. Today’s ‘photo of the Continue Reading →

Hi Folks: End of the month again, and that means it’s time for my favourite image made in the past month. This month is a little different because the image of choice was sort of a collaborative effort between three people: Marcia, Freeman Patterson, and me. Granted, my input was Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: Every photograph has some significance to the person who made it; there’s a ‘story’ attached to every image.

Hi Folks: Something a little different for April’s photo of the month post. We’ve had this little cough syrup bottle kicking around for a while now – after it had been emptied I washed it out, removed the label and started using it to grow a stem of bamboo. Since Continue Reading →
