North Vancouver - Lone Rock Point in Indian Arm
On this gorgeous day in August (2006-08-31), Hanne and I set off kayaking, heading for Jug, Raccoon, and Twin Islands. We launched in Deep Cove and made our way along the North Vancouver shore before planning to cross Indian Arm, over to our destination islands. Off the shore we took our postcard picture at Lone Rock Point.

Vancouver - Olympic Village
On a visit with Mom (2017-04-17), it was great to get down to Granville Island and then take one of the little sea busses to the Olympic Village. Once we disembarked from the vessel we took a stroll around the area. In this picture, BC Place Stadium is visible to the left; the water is False Creek.

Clinton - Snowy Highway...
This picture, taken on the last day of the year (2016-12-31), was never really supposed to be. As it happened, the province was inundated with snow storms, and BKR had to get back to Quesnel. I thought I'd accompany her on her snowy journey. All was well on our trip north and we had worried needlessly about impassable roads. We were making good time, and could see ourselves making Quesnel before it was too late in the day. That is, until a traffic accident just south of Cache Creek sent us on a detour through Merritt and then through Kamloops. By the time we arrived at Cache Creek, via the detour, it was late and discretion suggested an overnight stay in Clinton.

Quesnel - Riverfront Trail
It's May (2016-05-08), so there's a good chance we're in Quesnel. And, when in Quesnel, why not take a stroll on Riverfront Trail? The May sun was warming things up and Spring was everywhere.

Pavilion - Marble Canyon Provincial Park
Usually, our Cariboo trip is in May. In 2014, our May was booked with London and Portugal. So it was that we visited Quesnel in the middle of June. Coming south on this day (2014-06-18), we opted for a break at the Marble Canyon Provincial Park. Surprisingly, the picnic area was deserted.

Mayne Island - Georgina Point Lighthouse Park
Shortly after disembarking at the Village Bay ferry terminal - and being unsuccessful in our search for a place to eat - we opted for an exploration of the park at the Georgina Point Lighthouse. If I were a permanent resident of Mayne Island, I'm sure I'd be a frequent visitor to this place. (2016-09-25)

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.
