East Sooke Crassula
A spiderweb-covered crassula, well hidden in the middle of the Hiking Hell which is East Sooke Park. At least, I hope it’s a crassula. I’m botanically inept. =)
mmMMmm . . . snail
This little guy was found wandering recklessly across the Lochside Trail, and was subsequently moved off-trail for his own safety. =)
glass
Stairs. Cool. Yes, stairs in a gigantic glass encasement, looking all green and blue and cool and stuff along the Inner Harbour. =)
symmetry
727 Fisgard Street, across from the old Hudson’s Bay Company. =) p.s. – Happy Birthday, friend Kaitlyn.

One hundred too many posters on the pole . . . This was one of those ‘things.’ One of those ‘things’ just weird enough that you’d better swing the car around the block to shoot it now, or it’ll be gone in a matter of hours. Swing the car around the block I did, shoot it I did, gone in …
Craigflower Creek
The roaring rapids of Craigflower Creek. Yeah, don’t fall in, or you’ll get your ankles wet. =) This is an oft-used nature-photographer technique (keep the shutter open to capture the movement of the water) and, while I’ve seen it before the proverbial ‘zillion times,’ I’m still pretty happy with how this came out. Ah, nature. The cheapest neutral density filter …
outlook
Looking out to the waters near Clover Point. =)
the new Topaz
Pulled from the archives (well, March), a photo of Topaz Park with its brand new facelift. It’s getting busy with Christmas right around the proverbial corner, so I wanted to chuck something bright and sunny up here. =) p.s. – it’s been nearly three weeks and, except for the floor, all the bubbles are still hangin’ around.
keeping warm
Keep warm, everyone. We don’t get much snow here that often, but it tends to immobilize the city, especially when, days after a big dumping, the temperature drops to -6. =)
