Surfing Long Beach Tofino
Long Beach in Tofino on Vancouver Island is one of my favorite hangouts, as it is also for surfers, from regular surfing locals to tourists trying it out for the first time, Long Beach is a great place to visit, any time of year, rain or shine. Of course I prefer the heat of the…

Sports and Action Photography
I LOVE Tofino! One of the best things about living on Vancouver Island, is my fairly close proximity to Long Beach, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. I get there as much as I possibly can, year round. And yes, I DO love action and sports photography, and preferably when I am in, under,…

Old Growth Forest on Vancouver Island
Just East of Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, and on my way to Tofino and Ucluelet, which I frequent in spring and summer, is MacMillian Provincial Park, and in there, I know that you will be blown away by the beauty, the awe and serenity when you enter the magnificent old growth forest of Cathedral…

It’s the moments that matter.…

Finding Simplicity and Beauty in the Ordinary
Today I went out looking for simplicity and beauty in the ordinary, and to take the opportunity to practice a few skills using Shutter Priority. And here we have it. What could be more simple and beautiful in spring, than dandelions, and skunk cabbage? These are two things that most of us do not usually…

DOGS: Never Underestimate the Depth of Love and Strength of Bond
Never underestimate the love and power of a dog. The bond goes deep, the grief goes deeper, after 13 years. I have been preparing myself for some time now, as I have known, that one day in 2010, my dog Toby the GirlDog as I call her, will leave. It will be her time. I…

AH, ha, ha, ha, HA! Ahhhhh, Ha, Ha, Ha Haaaaa! Ahhhhh, Ha, HA, HA, HA!! Ahhh Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! I’ll let the image speak for itself.
