Today I rode the Peak Chair in Whistler, then hiked the start of the High Note Trail.  This crow seemed to be surveying the view just as much as the tourists!

This crow seemed to be enjoying the view!

Another late night shoot after a busy day!  This time the moon and the clouds were making a for a great sky outside my home.

Great night sky!

Another late night shoot.  Moths are my most feared critter.  I just can’t stand their erratic flight that always seems to be around your face.  Ugh!

I know this is graffiti but I like it, especially as it’s a spider in on the trail.

This is Miles the golden retriever down at Alpha Lake Park.  With temperatures up in the 30′s it’s as much as I can do to wander around the dog park with my own dog.  Miles isn’t the fastest mover so was easy for me to get a good shot of, even in my heat hazed laziness.

I’ve been delinquent recently at posting daily.  Rest assured I’ve been taking the daily photos dutifully on the right day but a) it’s too lovely outdoors to be spending time every day at the computer, b) it’s too hot to sit indoors at the computer.

So, Day 301 was supposed to be a beautiful night sky full of meteorites, but there was either a high level of fine cloud, or one of smoke due to the forest fires recently.  Either way, the stars were virtually non-existent, so I made a love heart using the lights on the back of my flash.

Day 302 – Macro shot of a pink lilly.  I love the delicate light on this one.

Day 303 – Today was a busy day with the 3rd annual cheese rolling competition on Blackcomb, as part of the Crankworx festival.  The mountain biking slopestyle event was later on.  Given that it’s only once a year that I get the opportunity to see idiots hurl themselves down a hill wearing silly costumes or as little as a “Speedo”, running after an 11lb roll of cheese, I decided that this should be the focus of today’s shot.

Day 304 – It was still hot, hot, hot in Whistler and the coolness of glacier fed Green Lake was calling me.  So I took my kayak out for a lazy paddle.  The sky is still not as clear as normal due to the recent forest fires further North.
