Salt Spring Relaxy Time

As I mentioned in my previous post, I managed to get away with the family for a little much needed R&R. I had never been to Salt Spring Island before, and I fell in love instantly. So many great independent shops, fresh organic produce galore, a gorgeous waterfront, and an endless supply of mossy trails to wander. Take a look:

Once again the big zoom lens comes in handy. This little one’s not quite sure what to think of me.

Checking out the view at the end of our hike through the woods.

I’m not sure what she was pointing to here, but she sure is excited about it!

The little one practices her drunken sailor wobble.

A visit to the Moonstruck Organic Cheese company farm.

And, stumbling upon this couldn’t have been more exciting for me. As a kid I always searched and searched the dollar stores for some sort of ridiculous keychain or magnet with my name on it, but to no avail. Finally my day has come. And it was a fantastic little place with great coffee and the most unbelievable lemon poppyseed bread.

I made a copy of this photo to hang in my kitchen.

As a joke, unfortunately.

Family time in Port Moody

My sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and my little niece were in town from Ontario recently, and it’s always nice to make some time to get out and enjoy fall in Vancouver.

And of course I couldn’t resist getting dozens of shots of my adorable niece.

Caught a sweet moment of my sister and her husband grabbing a break on the boardwalk. The 200mm lens is a beast to carry around on a nature walk, but quite useful in these sneak attack situations.

Charlotte loves riding the shoulders of her 6′4″ uncle as she towers above us all….he just has to be careful not to walk her into stray branches.

It was a great day, followed by a laid-back week on Salt Spring…those photos coming soon.
