Sunday Seaside
Two seaside outings today, this morning in the rain and this afternoon in the sun around low tide !
Seawall - North Granville
Based on the weather today, I'm inclined to bet against Van Island Violet. People were out in full force enjoying the sunshine and mild temperatures. Here are…

Christmas Morning - Jericho Beach
With grown children the dynamic of Christmas has changed in our family over the past few years. The anticipation of Christmas morning has been replaced with…
New Lens, Familiar Place
The first sunny morning this week was too tempting to not take a break from work and head down to Jericho beach to take some photos. I'm trying to spend more…
Granville Island Evening
A few photos before and after joining close friends for a pint. Darkeness comes early this time of year but a beautiful evening!
