I was visiting Ganges Harbor on Saltspring Island with some friends and we happened upon a boat show where we were able to board a bunch of working and pleasure boats of various sizes and types. This is a fancy cruiser with an interesting shadow cast across the bow.

A large wheat field near Olds, Alberta (which happens to be where I was born – Olds, not a wheat field) with one of the few remaining wooden grain elevators in the background.

This is a cool car that I have seen driving around town. I finally caught it parked in a spot not too bad for a photo.
I like this one in both color and black and white. If you’re interested, I think it’s a 1957 Nash Metropolitan. I like the crop tight on this because it accentuates how crowded it must feel like to drive in one.
I grew up in central Alberta. In 1980 I was 11 years old so I didn’t really understand the significance of the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. My wife and I tried to visit there in about 1998 but there was low fog and rain so we just had to imagine what it would look like. Last week we decided to meet some friends there and ended up seeing it on a gloriously sunny day and here are a couple of the shots from that day.
Here are some photos of some of the Aircraft at the Abbotsford Airshow. The first two are of a Russian Mig-17 (also known as a Fresco).

This next group shows an F-18 Hornet in various maneuvers. I think it looks cool the way the third image is blurred due to the heat of the exhaust.

The final photo is of a Boeing C17 Globemaster taking off in a very steep climb.

My daughter had a volleyball practice outside at City Park on Sunday because the gym that they normally practice in was booked. The rest of the fam dropped her off so we could walk around down at the lake since it was a beautiful evening. These photos are of a very interesting sculpture that has been on the Kelowna waterfront for years. It looks as if it has been recently painted.
As you can tell from this latest post, it is springtime in Kelowna. It doesn’t get much better than sunshine, tulips and peach blossoms.
I have lived for over 10 years no in a region of Canada that grows a lot of apples. I often try to get a good photograph of an apple orchard and no matter how hard I try I cannot seem to get a great photo of one. This one is alright.
While eating lunch while taking a course at Montgomery Park in Portland Oregon I took photographs the first couple of days. That is until Security told me that I was no longer to take photographs anywhere in or around the building in case I was planning a terrorist attack. I really think we all need to lighten up a bit.

A few years ago when my family and I visited the big island of Hawaii this is a view that we say to the west of the island. It is very dry because it is in the rain shadow of Mauna Kea. It amazes me that the east side of the island can be a tropical rain forest when this is what you see in the west – only about a 2 hour drive away.
