This is fireweed down on the Valley Trail near Rainbow Park, but you can see it all over Whistler.  Rumour has it that when the last flower has died the first snow will follow soon.  Don’t know about that.  I just thought it was pretty!

Zeus’s getting old and doesn’t want to walk far, but he’s still a puppy at heart and always wants to play ball!

Today I was scouting photo locations for my friend’s wedding at the Whistler Golf Course.  I’m sure I can make something of this ancient cedar.

These little birds have made their home in one of the drains at a condo building in Whistler.  They were eagerly awaiting the return of their parents with food.

This weekend I went to Parksville on Vancouver Island to shoot the wedding of Kristina and Landon.  They were all great fun but I did manage to calm Kristina down for this portrait.

More to come soon.

Late ferry crossing on BC Ferries “Queen of Cowichan”.  Note to self – book ahead to avoid a two sailing wait!

Interesting to see the night sky through a camera’s lens.  This is a 30 second exposure and I can see way more on the screen than actually with my eyes.

There must be a family of chipmunks in the rocks outside my house – this was one of four that I spotted this morning.  “Rats in tuxedos” but cute all the same.
