Photographic Musings...

[Dustin]

Haven't been too active on the camera lately but just a few shots from a recent hike

 

[Dustin]

Managed a capture of the super moon last night. Not a bad result for a handheld P&S

Going out tonight for some stargazing and swimming out at Porteau Cove up north. There's a meteor shower tonight, y'all

Check out the E-Type and sweet little Honda Passport

Three geese!

 

[Dustin]

We decided to head to Porteau Cove today for some stargazing. There's a meteor shower tonight and we had hoped to catch that as well. Alas, it's clouding over here in Vancouver but that didn't put a hamper on some fun

Arrived in time to catch the sunset

We went for a dip and played on some logs

I am a lobster

There was too much cloud cover to see stars so we opted to head up to Cypress Mountain lookout to try our luck there. No dice. Still managed a few nice captures, though

And another of that damned super moon

My friend picked up a rescue dog recently

His name is Malcom

I found a baby snake while hiking yesterday

I also found a lake along the hike! Some swimming was done

And another thing I found was this caricature of me done in 1989. Turns out I was destined to ride

I just got back from a long weekend in LA to take some respite from the bone-chilling winter cold at home. It was a well-deserved break and it also gives me a chance to update this thread!

We were picked up from the airport and headed straight to Santa Monica for some sunshine. It was a beautiful 24*c (75*f) which is EXACTLY what we needed. Just a few days ago in Vancouver, it was -11*c (12*f). Imagine how good it felt to be in t-shirt and shorts

Santa Monica beach

The end point of Route 66! I always wanted to see this

A gull

You wouldn't be doing this in Vancouver at the moment

A classic two-stroke scooter group ride! It was great fun to see

The famous Muscle Beach area at Venice Beach

Where's David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson?

The jets fly really low to land at LAX

A lovely SoCal sunset at Long Beach

An equally lovely boat moored at the Long Beach marina

 

[Dustin]

Laguna Beach. This is what SoCal is all about

Wave!

'Mussel beach'

Anemone!

Me doing my best motorbike impression

Crystal Cove bluffs

Sunset at Crystal Cove

Manhattan Beach Pier

Sneaky little thief

Lovely architecture at the Manhattan Beach seaside

Little guy was missing a foot

Vancouver-style rental prices

A lovely little Sandpiper. They are so much fun to watch jet up and down the shore, looking for snacks

Spring is in the air here in Vancouver

To have this amount of sunshine and spring blooms at this time of year is quite a thing. Perhaps it doesn't bode well for the water supply but it's certainly a treat

Let's not forget the birds

The V-Twin Ants. Only one shot.

 

[Blanchy]

More V Twin Ants

Took a few more shots

 

[Dustin]

That is seriously cool

 

[Blanchy]

That is seriously cool

I can see it upsetting an old German car enthusiast. No plaque naming the creator either?

 

[banzai]

Go into the bar and ask who the artiste is. I've stopped there for lunch a couple of times but never bothered to ask about the ants.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the rhino sculptures back up the road in Wollombi have gone. I wonder what happened to them.

 

[Blanchy]

I've got a strange aversion to that place! Must be 40yrs ago when it was the back of nowhere on a dirt road me and my brother were nearly out of fuel and stopped there. Just had a "Deliverance" feeling about it then and can't shake it still!

 

[Dustin]

BC, like the rest of the West Coast, has been hit with a ton of forest fires. There's some pretty big ones not too far from Vancouver and all the smoke has been heading our way.

This was the sky when I woke up Monday morning

 

[Dustin]

Wreck Beach last Monday. Smoke so thick it basically deleted the horizon

 

[Lonney]

Yeah stop over anytime ( not )
