View Large On Black | original | follow me

I spent a blissed-out hour shooting in the amazing working garden of Hollyhock resort.

Today is Bokeh Wednesday. One thing they grow in abundance at Hollyhock is bokeh.

Taken with my manual focus f/2.4 50mm macro.

Yesterday I passed four million views on my photostream. I appreciate your comments, feedback, favs, notes, - all of it. Cheers. Thanks everyone.

Beached

Just a beach. Or is it? In fact, it is the Media that Matters beach.

The Receding Storm

Blue skies here on Cortes Island at the end of the day, and you can see the storm making its way northward into the distance over the coastal mountain range.

This was shot at sunset with the last rays of light hitting the beach after filtering through the trees.

Storm Chaser

An explanation of what is happening in this image. We’re flying over the northern gulf Islands in a twin prop Citation and the storm wreaking havoc on the west coast of BC right now is just arriving. It has started to engulf us. You can see in the distance the mountains are still in full .sun. The thin leading edge of the storm is casting an eerie glow and the water below is is darker.

I landed a few minutes later in Powell River and caught a water taxi to Cortez just in time for the big wind to hit. We’re seeing 80km/hr gusts right now. Very noisy.

Stay safe and dry everyone!
