Watermelon Fun (Apr 29th, 2008)
The sun and warmth are finally beaming down upon our sub-tropical island city. Today was especially beautiful. At eight o'clock Ocean and I witnessed a massive rainbow after a bit of drizzle when the sun came out to say goodnight.

This shot is from a past weekend on Gabriola.

Spherical Self-Portrait (Apr 29th, 2008)
It might be the perfect symmetry, or perhaps the chrome finish. Or maybe the allure could be attributed to something else entirely. Whatever it is, there's something about ball bearings that Ocean and I both find attractive. Here's a recent portrait I borrowed a large-ish bearing for.

Peaceful Wind (Apr 23rd, 2008)
Peaceful Wind Landscape and Design is the name of a good friend's freelance entity. He crafts beautiful waterscapes and other backyard phenomena. It was my pleasure to develop a complete website for his business ... which is now live!

Waverly Tunes (Apr 16th, 2008)
These photos are from some time ago, an extraordinary musical event at the Waverly Pub in Cumberland (yep, that's a place on Vancouver Island).

The Tub Shack (Apr 5th, 2008)
I've been told by a veteran bathtub racer that he's never seen a team build a facility to work on a bathtub boat before. Usually, an individual or team just takes over a room, shop or shed. Well, we're happy to be a first. Although, to be honest, it's supposed to be a potting shed for a friend's mom.

Here's some photos of my buddy building the shed. I swear I helped too ...
