Romantic Pink

Sunset arrives subtly in the Campbell River Harbour.

Sunrise at 5:20 am

Too much coffee woke me up to this at 5:00 am and it only took me a second to jump into jeans, an old shirt, and sneakers to run outside for this shot. We were very poor as children and my mother had only a couple of pictures on the wall. One I remember was like this and labeled "God's Good Morning." My mother would have loved photography because I remember how much she loved pictures of beautiful scenery.

The River

A little cloud, the tide out, and a nice park bench add to the serenity of this picture. There was lots of wildlife today, and I also got some great shots of Herons.

Shoreline Lounging

Was there ever a more beautiful place to rest while walking or skating the seawalk. Since it was Saturday morning everyone was off shopping or what have you today, but normally this bench and every other along the 6 or 7 km of paved walkway would be full.

Fishers of Men

I remember a picture with a sky like this in a Bible story book when I was a child. In that picture Jesus had just calmed the seas and the disciples in the boat with him were aghast. I would have liked to spend enough time this morning for a boat to come into this picture, but clouds do change quickly, and probably the picture would not be the same. In any case, I had to be somewhere in a few moments.

Our First Cruise Ship

This isn't so much pretty, as important, or shall we say historic. This is the very first docking of a cruise ship at our new dock in Campbell River. This is appropriately name "Regent." Appropriate in that the passengers on this ship were indeed treated like royalty. Hope the passengers liked Campbell River and hope this becomes a steady thing.

Oyster Bay at Sunset

I just had to try my new polarizing filter on an honest to gosh sunset, and I wasn't disappointed. Where can I find some more great staging points for sunrises and sunsets.
