Jay from the ZipTrek Team is riding the Zip-Line over San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza (near the Embarcadero Center).
This zip-line was a promotional campain by the British Columbia Tourism Office of Canada (http://www.hellobc.com/)
The 183-metre long line over Justin Herman Plaza was set up by officials from British Columbia looking to lure tourists to the province this summer.
People were waiting hours to climb up a scaffold tower, get belted into a harness and cruise past the Ferry Building while looking off to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The ride, modelled on a zip line set up in downtown Vancouver during the Olympics, was free.

Still f/8, we could be more shallow, but you will see the huge difference between this image and the next one.

Thank you to Northern British Columbia Tourism , Tourism BC , Hudson Bay Lodge, and the Ksan Historical Village for helping with our visit up north to Hazelton, British Columbia.
I was barely awake when I saw this coyote outside my window. I rushed to grab my camera before he disappeared from my view a few seconds later. Still dark outside and quite a distance away, I had to rely on relatively high ISO and 600mm of telephoto, but I'm glad I captured the moment.
A salmon-spawning bed and haven for wildlife at my friends' property. Bald eagles, mergansers, ducks, bears, coyotes, owls, woodpeckers, herons, osprey, kingfishers, deer, river otters all frequent this area, just to name a few.

Barnacles! they don't mind if you get really close. Notice science world in the background but if you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't know because it is so blurry. Factors affecting depth of field are distance from you to the subject, and distance from the subject to the background. Also, the more you zoom, the blurrier the backround.
Shot taken at a marina/resort near Port Renfrew, British Columbia. Nothing special about the dock, but like the stillness of the waters and cloud reflection.
Taken at F5.6. Notice the blurred out background. This isolates the "subject", great for portraits (and letting in more light!)
I went back looking for California Bighorn Rams and found a whole flock. I was just as surprised as this ram was. ;)

On our way back from Vernon, we stopped to admire Kalamalka Lake and the Coldstream Valley off the highway. In my opinion, it's the most stunning lake in the Okanagan, and we have quite a few beautiful ones. Shot with my iPhone.
The crazy weather continues. With such a wet Spring the mosquitos are out in full force. I literally took this photo and a couple more, before rushing back to the car. Tomorrow, I'm buying a case of bug spray.
My wife and I took a couple of days for a getaway in the East Kootenays (particularly, Cranbrook). We are staying at this stunning hotel called St. Eugene. I couldn't help myself but take a shot of its entrance just before night time.
On day 74, I took a photo of a large barn that used to belong to local judge John Carmichael Haynes in the late 1800s. Today I went back to the same location for a nearby building that is part of that same heritage ranch. This one is in even rougher shape, unfortunately, but thankfully we can still enjoy it and imagine what it might have been like back in the day.
