Forest in the Fog
Anyone who’s been to Vancouver’s Stanley Park, or even heard of it, will know that this spot is renowned for its majestic evergreens. In the fog earlier this month, you’d be hard pressed to recognise the park at all. I…
Read MoreOn Ice
… ducks on ice, that is. It’s not been cold enough this winter for ponds to freeze over, but these images from Jericho Park last winter always bring a smile to my face. Hopefully they do the same for you…
Read MoreHarbour Lights
As Christmas drew close this year, the skies cleared and we enjoyed some sunny, clear days. This led to a minor dusting of snow, and so I made my way up to another mountain to capture views to the west….

Read MoreLove in the Rain
We’ve had a gorgeous autumn here on the west coast, and I caught leafy images such as this just a couple of weeks ago in Vancouver’s West End. … but, just like that, we’ve shifted gears and leaves have been…
Read MoreI’m Leaving this Place for Newfoundland
… but I’m not saying goodbye to Vancouver and these views for long. While the west coast and our summer sunsets are beautiful, I understand that Newfoundland is equally gorgeous. While It’s also more than 7,000 kilometers/4,380 miles away. In fact,…
