Alberni Valley - Stamp River Falls

This is the first of the posts with a different format. Panoramio, unfortunately, is no more; the pictures are still accessible but most of the data associated with the pictures is gone.

This picture was my farewell to the Panoramio community...

Vancouver - Yaletown

Our October visit to Kitsilano, included a walk to Granville Island Market. This stroll provided Murray and me an opportunity to snap some urban pictures. Here, from Granville Island, we look over False Creek to Yaletown.

Telegraph Cove boardwalk

After spending a few days in Sointula, our drive home took us past the Telegraph Cove turn-off. Why not have a look we thought. It was a good thought. Although it was February and the Cove was all but deserted, the visit was worth it. I hadn't known exactly what to expect, but the boardwalk was very interesting. The history of the place is well documented on numerous signposts.

Port Alberni - Get-away on Cheeyah Island

On our October journey with the MV Frances Barkley from Port Alberni to Bamfield, our first stop was Cheeyah Island. This seemed like a pretty posh get-away in the middle of nowhere. At this stop, the skipper pulled alongside the dock to drop a passenger off.

Bamfield - Sorry, No Coffee Today

Having stepped off the MV Frances Barkley a few minutes before the monsoon-like rains started, I strolled along Bamfield's seawalk to this location. A coffee shop in the summer, I reckon.

Gulf Islands - Leaving Pirates Cove

On this day's kayak tour, Peter and I had launched at Cedar-by-the-Sea. After a nice paddle along the west shore of Link Island, we had slipped through the hole-in-the-wall (between Link and DeCourcy Islands) toward Pirates Cove. After a snack at the cove, we headed back. Here we're in the narrow passage exiting Pirates Cove.

Bamfield - Walking the seawalk

We're in Bamfield, walking the seawalk. In the rain. Of course! The MV Frances Barkley had just dropped us off at the dock by the Canadian Coast Guard Station and what should occur? We're in Bamfield. Rain. Actually: monsoon.

Nanaimo - Oyster Catcher in Departure Bay

Kilroy was here! Black Oyster Catcher in Departure Bay. When kayaking around Nanaimo, you're likely to hear the Oyster Catchers before you ever see them. When you hear them, be sure to look about for their characteristic orange beaks and the red-yellow eyes.

Vancouver - Yaletown (Vancouver) seen from Granville Island

It may be November, but the sun flushes Vancouverites outdoors. An ideal spot to soak up some rays is out on the dock at Granville Island.
