Seems like they’re becoming a bit more regular. We’ve had a few epic storms in the past couple of years, but this one really hit Kelowna hard. Not too much rain in Peachland luckily. Just these incredible views of sunset, rainbows, and lightning. I’ve been trying to get lightning shots for a while now, glad[...]

Well, with tours a bit slow this summer, I may as well get some family time in. At least we’re getting a summer. It’s been pretty wet and cool out west this year. Now it’s our dog trying to stay wet and cool. Like all Border Collies, she’s a total spaz around water. She’s trying[...]

Well, I’ve got a new bike to show off. It’s taken a little extra time this year to get things together, but the first of two Rocky Mtn’s in the quiver is ready to rock. Didn’t have much time today, so I went and bagged a small local peak for something to do. Found[...]

Right around the end of the Canucks Game 5 win over the Bruins. Good timing, Isis…
I managed to get out for a quick ride finally. No pics of the action, but you may be satisfied with this sunset shot from my deck. It’s slow in starting, but the season is upon us… Anyway, sick ride with Reg Mullet and Nick Quinn. We managed a pretty good climb up in the[...]
Read More Sunset…
Got a rare one today. Well, uncommon at any rate. Pretty sure this is a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. Sorry about the lousy pic, but it was hard to get a pic of this guy and I still don’t have a replacement for my now destroyed G9.
Not what you want to see from your sundeck when you live in the Okanagan. This one blew up fast, but the fire crews got on it quick and knocked it down in a day. Still, it scorched 35 hectares and one house. I guess fire season is here.
Yes, he really does eat those things for breakfast. Hey Hylands! Get a helmet on that kid! I can’t believe how rad Kainoa is on a runbike and he’s not even 2 yet. I’m jealous. OK, back to rad girlies on mountain bikes. I took Sarah, Nicole, and Tippie (he’s sorta girly…) down some of[...]

In this corner, sleeping soundly, we have Jessamy Tippie. And in the corner, fast asleep, we have Siobhan Matthews. Now fight! OK, maybe I’ll take care of the kids while the moms go ride. Which looked really good up until about a half second after this shot was taken and Sarah ate shit into the[...]

It’s getting there slowly but surely. The second half of the basement is framed, ready for wiring and insulation.
Just spending time at home, doing renos, being a Dad, and working on the upcoming season. At least I get stuff like this outside the office window. Meanwhile, junior proves that there is such a thing as too much AC/DC, especially when you’re trying to play along to it via Rock Band.
You just don’t see things like a four point buck from your window in North Van. Well, sometimes you do, but I just had 6 of them roll through the yard. Gotta get a pic of the bigger one ( I think he’s a 6 or 8 pointer) but he’s always through first so I[...]

Mid November, and I’m still exploring new ground. I’ve been out hiking a bit and figuring out stuff on maps a lot lately. A little side note: Dan, Brucie, and Summers were supposed to be here on this one, but they were scared off by the weather… Yeah, right. So Brant and Andrew came out[...]
