Fall is Here!

Fall has come to our 'little' island, and I really love the fall here.  Nobody does it better than the rain forrest.  big yellow leaves the size of a dinner plate, pile up ankle deep.  It's amazing!  Sadly the salmon run has not happened yet, but I plan to head up to Goldstream when it does.  But for now here are some leaves.

 And some mossy branches.

While my Mum was visiting to help with our garden, we took a trip up to Ladysmith to visit some friends of hers formerly from Bragg Creek.  I had to try to photograph their beautiful orange tabbies, Miel and Cayenne.  Unfortunately there was very little light and they didn't take to kindly to the camera (they would rather a pet them a hold them).

 This was the best shot I could get (I believe this is Miel), it's not the sharpest.  

And this is their dog Tynda (not sure on the spelling).

Island View Beach

I went with my friend Brenden to Island View Beach earlier this month.  He was looking for wind to go kite boarding, I was looking for an opportunity to use my camera.  The wind failed him, but it was one of those overcast days my photography teacher would have told us was the best for shooting.  We pulled out our cameras and started climbing around in an old skeleton of a shack.
