Sea Kayaking- Johnstone Strait, B.C.





These photos are from my recent adventure in British Colombia. As you might or might not know from previous postings, I spent the last couple weeks traveling all over Vancouver Island, cycling with my mom. For the final portion of our trip together, we embarked on a sea kayaking expedition following pods of Orca whales along the strait. It was an incredible experience to say the least. These pics don't actually contain any orca shots. Those will come later, so check again later.
Thanks for reading

Campbell River- B.C.

Overlooking the bay.
"Sea Breeze" in the harbour.
Lots o' graffiti on this rock.
I made a new discovery today. Apparently in Canada you get a complimentary biscuit on top of your cheese pizza. How thoughtful.

Today we drove from Qualicum to Campbell River, farther north on Vancouver Island. Our original plan was to do a ride out of Qualicum, but it was rainy in the morning. So we decided to drive North to avoid the rain. We ended up  having a great ride along the bay, pretty decent mileage, about 52 total. We missed out on lunch, so by the time we were done riding we were starving. Cheese pizza never tasted so good.

Sidney, B.C.- Jellyfish

Favorite photo of the day.

Cycling Trip- Victoria B.C.

Parliament Building

This photo of the Ship Yard was shot in color, later converted to black and white. Then i added some spot coloring for a final touch.


This is part of a stained glass window in the old Parliament building in downtown Victoria.


I have been spending this week on a cycling trip to British Colombia with my mom. She has made all of the plans so that each day we ride a new location, of which i have not yet been informed of. This makes each day a new adventure and a lot of fun, with tons of great rides. We spent our first day riding in Anacortes, Washington, where you catch the ferry for Vancouver Island. The following day, we took the ferry to Sidney, a port town on the island, and afterwards, we drove down to Victoria to spend the day. There were lots of opportunities for great shots and we had a lot of fun taking a break from riding to see the city. I'll be posting more shots as our trip progresses. Good stuff, hope you enjoy.
