Pacific NW Sailing - The Photo That I almost didn't take

Kinda makes you want to take up sailing doesn't it?? This moment was preserved while walking along Dallas Rd through Beacon Hill park... the Olympic mountains and the coastal wild flowers frame the sail boat perfectly with a little added bonus provided by the hanging mist over the water - I almost didn't take the time to snap this one then decided the moment was worth preserving, I'm glad I did

Cadboro Bay trees...

A little tough to tell here, however, this tree is downright amazing when you see it up close!  Nestled in tight against the shore on the beach, you walk under the canopy and it feels like you've entered the Amazon rainforest! The tree trunk is massive, thin at the bottom then splitting into several parts as you go up. There's vines dangling from it and a crazy umbrella like blanket of foliage covers the entire canopy of the tree... it really is wild! You can find it by walking along Gyro Park Beach in Cadboro Bay, simply walk towards the Yacht club and you'll find it near the end where all the sailboat dingies are tied up - best to walk there at low tide

Zoe + Dusk on the beach #YYJ

Not a mobile pic, I snapped this one with the Nikon... dusk on Island View Beach - even Zoe was appreciative of the calm evening and the awesome view - lots of bird activity too!

FYI, this is untouched, can't quite recall the camera settings I used but it turned out kinda cool!

A favorite Dallas Rd. Pacific Coast Photo #YYJ

What I love most about photography is that there's so many variables and so much luck as well... but sometimes you just get lucky! This is a personal favorite of mine that I captured back in November 2010 along Dallas Rd at Beacon Hill Park, near the dog-off the leash area. You can see the complete set of this Dallas Rd photo walk HERE

Nice double rainbow today in yyj

A lucky moment today as a double rainbow appeared briefly East of Island View Beach... gorgeous - the rainbow was FULL as well... a wide angle or panoramic would have been priceles. See on Panoramio

Dogs, sun and the beach #yyj

When the sun hasn't been around for over a week the pooch loves it (and so do I) when we can finally get to the beach for a sunny walk

Soaring on the Pacific Coast

A classic moment at the beach when nothing really seemed special at the time, however, when captured in a still digital image a great moment is preserved... sometimes you just get lucky! A little added effect has been added using the new, Instagram (@instagramapp) app for iPhone

Morning first light on the beach

A fun and interesting low-light effect  as the sun emerges to the East resulting in a great show of a girl and her dog on the beach for a morning walk.

Evening at Island View

A visit to Island View Beach on a clear evening at dusk will quite often provide you with some beautiful scenery like this image captured as the sun set behind us to the West, the result some nice, pink and orange skies over the Strait as we look to the east.
