Bear Creek Nature Park

A colleague from the ProPhoto Course told me of Bear Creek Nature Park.  Recently opened and now a welcome addition to the many parks that dot the Regional District. Bear Creek Nature Park is in its infancy and therefore more primitive than others.  The trails are not marked but it's easy to get around if one is careful. You'll find more wildlife here...and some beautiful light.

In the Shade of Seal Bay Park

Seal Bay Nature Park is a place I go to exhale and restore balance.  In the final years of my flying career, we were in a transition to a new aircraft.  During that time the ops tempo was very high; making squadron life quite challenging.  I was grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an important era in military search and rescue.  My best offset for those big days was a brief visit to this beautiful park.

Grassy Point Sunset

Amongst Hornby Islanders, Grassy Point Point is the favourite place for sunsets.  The first time I went there we arrived late, missing our chance.  Determined, I returned a couple of weeks later and captured this image.  As luck would have it a kelp bed drifted through the foreground, completing the composition.
