And in that past, it’s a great day to be out under the bright blue sky.

This is Provia 400, mostly over-corrected (because it’s fun), cross-processed (because I can) and pulled 1 stop (because I overexposed the whole roll by 2 stops). It’s good to know you can get away with nonsense like that.

Landon was able to successfully find the only thing in the frame that remotely resembles the color of her hair.

We’ve been to the pier. Or the almost-pier. I don’t know.

When along came a curious visitor.

We’ve been very impressed.

Also this fellow seemed terribly afraid of that hovering cage.

All that activity got us hungry. We ate at Penny’s Palapa!

And spent some nice time with a man wading unceremoniously in this tide pool full of disgusting objects. The ocean is right there, my friend.

This adorable portrait.

Some sand in various shapes.

These are good times.

 

 

Here we are. We are at the beach. We are going to have a barbeque.

But first it’s time to be silly.

Getting back to business. This is my uncle.

He’s doing that.

Hi, I’m having a nice time in the sun.

See I told you.

Hotdogs ready in 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Impromptu ‘on our way to havin’ hotdogs’ dance!!!

Those people in the background were very loud and disturbing. Sorry, but some people came to the beach for some relaxation not listen to the twenty most fabulous stories about your stupid dog.

But wait, what’s this? Is that…

Look, it’s coming this way!

The Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft.

Now I must admit that this had me excited, and I will explain.

But first, a bit about rocks.

Standing on them is a good idea.

Ah, see. Satisfying, isn’t it?

Okay, that’s great. Can we go look at this hovercraft now?

I don’t know. Once you’ve seen one hovercraft, you’ve seen them all.

Well, when I was a boy I was treated to the same surprise on the same beach. I remember this fascinating experience quite fondly. That caused me to go in to snap mode. The perfect time to have a Nickelodeon Photoblaster hanging off the neck.

Hoping that doesn’t end.

But all things do, and we relive them on our point and shoot LCD displays.

Well hello. See that phone on the table? It would never take another call. How’s that for mysterious.

One day when I was sitting in the park I took a picture and a guy in the background looked very unimpressed.

Getting some fishing in.

Coffees. I can tell that I was reading Gravity’s Rainbow at the time, because there is also a dictionary on the table.

Hm, I wonder what will come next.

As promised, and right on time, I have collected some cute photos to share. It all begins on a fine summer day. My cousins, my aunt, and my uncle have come to Vancouver as well. As a family we have decided to convene in the same physical location so that we can be spending time with each other.

And when I got back from New York, my ladies were waiting for me.

We made a fancy gathering on the coast in the Straight of Georgia.

My sister and I just having a real nice time on the rocks.

While we were hanging out on the grass a little bird came to visit.

He seemed very interested in our company.

And we became friends.

Deciding that a self portrait here into the sun was necessary.

Une cousin.

Guess I neglected to wind that roll in far enough. Some good family portraits coming up.

 

Rocking the Pignose.
