Submitted by Katya Small to the 2012 myPQB Story Contest: "One of the greatest things about Parksville is strolling along the beach. You can find the most beautiful shells, sand dollars, drift wood, and many other interesting and beautiful things. One day I came along this little guy, he was peacefully floating in with the tide. I've never seen anything like this before. Not sure if it was a squid or baby octopus but it was adorable. I love beach combing, I get to come across coolest things. :)"

Riding a Cat
Self Portrait 8
Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/250s, f/8, ISO 640

Ok, so this was all Len’s idea… I don’t know what was harder, getting the shot or climbing up into the bull dozer! It was pretty funny and brought back lots of sweet memories riding my grandpa, Wawee’s Cat when I was a little girl. Moving on from some of these regularly posed shots, I’m thinking self portrait abstract shots or landscapes with me added in somehow. What would you like to see next?

Baby Bear Balancing Act
From the archives June 2021
•
My third Grizzly tour with Tide Rip Grizzly to Knight Inlet was during June of 2021 with two of my best girl friends, Ivy and Caroline, and a group of fellow photographers. It was awesome to be with like minded people. We watched this baby bear play on the rocks for about 45 minutes. It was so much fun! (Shot with Nikon d850 700mm, cropped and edited on LR mobile).

Erin took me somewhere new today for our weekly photoshoot. I can’t believe in all the 25 years I’ve lived in Qualicum Beach I have never been to Hamilton Marsh!! I can’t wait to process our fun shots from today and explore this place more in the future!

"My wife and I stayed a night at Tigh Na Mara 2 weeks before our first son was born. Our last time away before we became parents.

Will always be a special time for us that I will remember." - Tim Ansley, 2013 myPQB Story Contest

Pure Adrenaline

This little guy is our youngest, and officially our craziest, grandson, haha. He decided that Englishman River was not too cold to swim in mid-January. So down he stripped and off he went. I would say he definitely is the epitome of pure adrenaline.

Beautiful BC Rivers

•
With all the chaotic images coming at you on your social media feeds, I thought a little tranquil beautiful BC River shot might be a nice break. Take a few moments to breathe in some riverside peacefulness.
