Deep Bay - Colourful Dockside Details

During this generally grey June (2020-06-27), it was time to get out of the house and visit a place we hadn't been to for a few years. I love boats, so the Deep Bay docks have a particular appeal. Specifically, I'm drawn to dockside details.

Horseshoe Bay - Low Tide Perspective

After visiting HR in Point Grey (2017-08-01), it was time to head home. Arriving at Horseshoe Bay, I decided that the low tide provided a unique opportunity to take pictures with a different perspective.

Vancouver - Granville Island

Easter weekend saw me visiting Mom in Vancouver. We took this opportunity to check out Granville Island and then have lunch in the Olympic Village. The ride on the little False Creek ferry was a first for Mom.

Sointula - Dockside Details

After breakfast at the little (only perhaps?) bakery by the ferry terminal, we were off to a little Sointula sightseeing. While the fishing fleet on Malcolm Island may not be as large as in days of yore, the government docks and the many boats in Sointula still seemed fairly large (compared to Nanaimo, anyway). As usual, I find it hard to resist dockside details. <Click!>

Telegraph Cove: All's Quiet in February

After a couple of sunny February days on Malcolm Island (Sointula), our drive home took us to rainy Telegraph Cove. We were quite surprised; there was much more to see than we had anticipated. In fact, we've decided another trip, in warmer weather, should be planned.

Steveston - Finn Slough

On a foggy January afternoon, after some fish and chips along the Steveston Wharf, we took a drive out to Finn Slough. I had once read that Finn Slough is one of the most photographed locations in British Columbia's Lower Mainland. Whether true or not, CLICK!, one postcard view after another. I think "quaint" and "unique" sum up this area.

Okanagan Valley - a Quiet Afternoon at Chute Lake

After a lengthy spell of rainy weather in Naramata, the downpour stopped. Marco and I took the opportunity to explore the Trans Canada Trail (Kettle Valley Railroad section) above St. Georg's vineyard. Eventually, our travels took us to Chute Lake.

Horseshoe Bay - Waiting for a BC Ferry

Waiting for a ferry at Horseshoe Bay is as good a time as any to take some pictures of the government dock and the many boats in the marina.
