Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, Vancouver Is., British Columbia, Canada.
At the west end of Juan de Fuca Park is Botany Bay to Botanical Beach, Trail along one of the richest tidal areas of the west coast. Wildlife viewing is best done at low tide, when visitors can walk out across the flat sandstone and granite outcroppings to view tide pools filled with brightly coloured marine life.

Having missed 66720 on 4H39 because of traffic, I was in completely the wrong place to get 66786!
GBRf liveried Class 66 No 66786 passes Botany Bay with the 11.29 Peterborough Main Shed - Doncaster Down Decoy HTA wagon move. The train was running some 35 mins late at this point.
Wrong side for the light etc but a half decent shot?
This is one of the many awesome roads we drove down, and one of the reasons I wanted to visit Botany Bay Plantation. I shot this photo at around 11am. I really liked the filtered light through the trees. I did have to wait a little while before taking my shot. The light was just a little to harsh for my liking, but I knew there were clouds in the sky so I just waited for one to help soften the light and then I got my photo.
if you know me, I will do just about anything to get my photo, that includes trying to avoid these bird sized mosquitos that could get to you through your clothes. So I out smarted them, I set up my camera and tripod and composed my shot, and turned on the built in wifi and took my photo from the safety of my car using my iphone App. I thought of that after getting like 30 bites though so maybe I wasn't as smart as I thought I was. LOL
A big thanks to Dave Allen and Mark Vandyke for the info on Botany bay!!

Only three Class 91 sets were rostered to work on the ECML today (Sat 15th Aug), so I took the chance to get a shot of 91119.
Inter-City Swallow liveried Class 91 No 91119 'Bounds Green' works 1N81, the 09.06 LKX - York LNER passenger service.
Seen here approaching Sutton Bridge, just north of Retford.
DVT No 82208 was at the rear of the train.
Bright, overcast weather is ideal for this location as full sun causes problems. Not often you can say that!
8242 departs Botany Yard with T199 to Enfield Yard. This rake will later form 1435 to Toll at Carrington.

I hadn't planned on using this shot until I tried cropping it. It's a pretty tight crop from a much large picture. This is after sunset with a 2 minute exposure.

The Tide Rushing in to claim just a little more land. Inch by Inch, Day by day, the power of the ocean claimed this skeleton tree which now sits isolated from land. Taken at Botany Bay Boneyard on Edisto Island in South Carolina.

Well the Easter weather here was wet with just a small window at to go out and shoot some pictures. This was taken at mid day.
A bit out of focus - the depth of field on the Moment macro lens is minuscule - but I kind of love the "marshmallow fluff" look here.
Longwood Gardens Pa.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment, and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.

I'm so sorry for my lack of posts! I've been so busy lately... but it was nice to take a break and just do nothing but take pictures and watch movies for a day :)
this picture is kind of the first trial run of a bigger concept of "Botany" i have in mind, that i will hopefully be able to shoot soon!
It's getting colder and colder here, i wish it would just snow, or at least have the leaves change colors. damn florida </3
Sunrise overlooking Botany Bay, Sydney from the boat wharf jetty. Pretty clouds in shades of mango yellow and pinks colour the sky and reflect in the water.
on this island no shell picking is allowed...they are everywhere ...lined up on the dead tree trunks...made into designs in the sand ...fixed on the outer branches of the trees as ornaments of a Christmas past...magical and enchanting place to visit and explore...the red nails on the crab identify this crab as having been a female"painted nails"...have the very best of the Memorial holiday and ....explore.....
Fighting tiredness I couldn’t resist heading out late last night lured out by clearing skies and occasional stars peeking out. I didn’t have the energy for the long drive in search of dark skies so I just popped down the road to Maryhill to a location on the Port Dundas spur of the Forth & Clyde Canal. I’d visited this spot 3 years ago to check out the fabulous brick building that sits there. The area is called Botany. One internet source says prisoners were loaded on ships here destined for Botany Bay in Australia. Another more prosaic source says the name came about because the locals were all so rough they were felt destined for Botany Bay. The local gang was ‘The Butny’. Sadly the most credited explanation is even duller: a school called The Botany stood in the area. The fabulous brick building on the right was built for Glasgow Lead and Colour Works (Alexander Ferguson and Company). It was on the ‘At risk’ register for several years but in 2019 conversion of the upper floor into residential flats started.
It always feels way scarier standing in populous areas like this with blokes passing by en route to last orders at the bar or the all-night McDonalds rather than some quiet, dark abandoned building...
