Leaving Vancouver for Cortez Island tomorrow. I have never been there. So many people I respect speak highly of the Hollyhock Institute. We’ll see what it means for me. At the very least I should get some interesting photos of a gorgeous part of the world.

I kinda like the cross-processed feel to this aerial. This is a big image so check out the larger sizes.

Tone mapped a little in Photomatix but most of the PP in this was done in Photoshop.

Reach

Playing with my new macro lens. A whole new world of possibilities. I think I will explore focus stacking now.

I took this in Playfair Park in Victoria. The park is home to a forest of 25′ tall Rhododendrons that are all in bloom right now. If you live in Victoria or are visiting, make sure you check it out. Gorgeous park with both natural Garry Oak ecosystem and cultivated gardens. Playground for the kids too. Check the map for this photo for the location.

Heart of Camas

Those of you who follow my stream know this plant. It was cultivated by coastal peoples long before Europeans arrived. We think of them as wild flowers but in fact the fields of them we see are remnants of cultivation ten generations ago and before.

This blossom is about an inch across in whole but I am showing only the middle third. They are also found in the Garry Oak ecosystem.

Vancouver Details

Fellow Vancouverites if you would be so kind as to help out with notes on landmarks, much appreciated.

Very clear day yesterday and the helicopter ride yielded some really clear shots. I upped the shutter speed on these to 640/sec to make sure I didn’t get any motion blur.

I am a communications technology pro by trade, an activist at heart. I care deeply about the health of my family and work hard to contribute to solutions to the great challenges of our day such as climate change and an out-of-control food system. I am a bon vivant, artist, writer and wannabe musician. I deeply appreciate my friends and colleagues and all the creativity and knowledge they bring. I hope I am always learning from them.
