How often can you get this sort of shot without a human in it? Thanks to a wonderful monorail driver I did. She let me stay just that extra minute and held the other riders off so that I could get it.

We used the International Motorcycle Show in Seattle, Washington as an excuse to get away for the weekend and what a fabulous, entertaining weekend it was! We took the train, which means getting up at 4:30am to get ready, deal with animals, and get across town for the 6:40am departure. We fell onto the train with all the other sleepy…

We spent the weekend in Seattle to visit the International Motorcycle Show. It was really an excuse to get out of town for a couple of days and just do something fun, and it was worth it. We had a wonderful time, the weather was great Saturday, and tolerable Sunday. And this fellow was wonderful. He had the kindest eyes…

I am in in Victoria for a conference and when I registered they gave me a bag of swag. Rather than wander around with it for hours I zipped back up to my room to drop it off. I poked through it and found a Purdy’s chocolate barStarving I decided to eat it before heading back down. I went to…

288/365 (Oct 15, 2011) – Winter is coming… Not that it ever really left in some areas. This was an amazing year for the snow sticking around. In August we rode up to the top of Mt. Baker and there were still piles of snow at the upper parking lot. While the top of Mt. Garibaldi never completely becomes free…

279/365 (Oct 6, 2011) – It’s been about three years since I’ve been in Port Alberni and I was happy to find this tree still standing out on Central Lake Rd. The other side of the road has been clear cut since I was here last, but this strange monument is still around. Rather sad that The Daily Shoot is…

271/365 (Sept 28, 2011) – You have to appreciate these morning on the coast in the fall. I think one thing I really like about this time of year is that the sunrises are late enough that I actually get to see them

270/365 (Sept, 27, 2011) – I am up in Campbell River at the moment, just for a short work related visit. I went for a walk along the waterfront before dinner and saw the roof of this boarded up building at the edge of the sea. The ecology on the structure looked to me like a miniature forest canopy, like…

253/365 (Sept 10, 2011) – OK, so today’s Daily Challenge was supposed to be from a high vantage point, but the last time I did that I stuck my head into the ceiling fan and just about knocked myself unconscious, so I opted for a lower vantage point today. It’s a bit of a running ‘joke’ between Kirk and I…

247/365 (Sept 4, 2011) – We decided to do a trip to the Sunshine Coast today since the boat still isn’t fixed. I saw this just out of Gibsons and caught it about 8 hours later when we were on our way back. I have managed to log about 1200km over three days. Friday was my flex day and I…
