The pheonix rises from the marshy frnge of Trout Lake to celebrate Illuminares.

It is amazing to me that such little tugs can pull booms of huge timber through the coastal fjords.

I really like this one. It has a lot of movement and action.

Bang, more fireworks, and these are green!!!

This one is for Lorien, cause she really liked it. Happy anniversary Love.

Sea cavalcade in Gibsons!!! Apparantly they used to blow up an old boat in the harbour every year. The fireworks will just have to suffice.

Sea Cavalcade is GIbsons' climactic summer festival. Gardens across the town are bursting with color, even in the harbour.

Well its not Big Sky COunty but we still have blue up there.

Another view of Molly's and Smitty's. With commonly photographed subjects the challenge is to come up with a different interpretation.

Gospel Rock is a beautiful placer to capture the rich hues of a sunset.

If Ansel adams had photographed sea stars instead of the Sierras....hmmm

Follow the trail of stars to the sea!! Arrrr!!

Here is a not very ochre Ochre Sea Star.

Skookumchuck Narrows, where the stars come out to play.

THis golden morning picture is from last winter. As much as I love the brilliant days of summer, it is fall and winter light that captures my eye.

The first light illuminates the peaks around Brandywine Valley. Lorien missed this beautiful dawn, but had a cozy lie in in the tent.

Ah Gibsons Harbour. The clouds are always changing, altering the color and mood of the sea.

Yet another picture from the snowy and beautiful Brandywine Valley.

It seems we have prowlers...

Here is a tarn that shouldn't be there!! The snow was melting fast and furious, causing all the creeks to burst their banks.

A view of distant mountains rising above a still snowbound Brandywine River.

A picture from Brandywine, The medow that wasn't!! We didn't see any wildflowers, just snow.

Here is Angel the intrepid wonder dog scouting for ships lost at sea. What she'd do if she found one is anybody's guess.
