"We spent an absolutely glorious weekend in Parksville in early October. So many things to see and do even at the end of the "season". On the way home we went whale watching and saw these Orcas and about 40 others by Texada Island." - Aileen Dixon, 2012 myPQB Story Contest

Night Rocks and Water

This archive shot was taken when we were still in Covid lockdown and I ventured out to get some night long exposure shots. There was something so calm and quiet on those nights, very little traffic or people out and about. Light reflecting from day’s last light on water and Qualicum town glow sparkling on the rocky shore.

Just two goofball photographers out chasing King Tide Waves…. Too bad Qualicum didn’t have any huge waves this morning, but we still had fun dodging the little fast rollers.

Thanks for following my work. I’m on FB, IG, Flickr, Twitter, and Vero. Website in bio.

"Many kinds of wildlife throughout this part of the island. Keep your eyes open, as you never know where you're going to see something special...like this barred owl watching over the highway as I was on my way to work one morning." (Submitted by Randy Hall to the 2013 myPQB Story Contest)
Misty Rocks and Water

This deep dive into my archives lately has given me some great ideas for photoshoots, but I realized there thousands of photos I have never shared. Sure there are similar scenes, but so many sweet places to revisit. This is one of my favourite spots to shoot at the Qualicum Waterfront that incorporates rocks and water. I could photograph this spot every day for a year and it would never be the same twice. Sort of like the moments in our lives, don’t you agree?

Submitted by Carri Hall to the 2012 myPQB Story Contest - beautiful Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park in Parksville, BC (Vancouver Island).
"BC Parks Englishman River Falls is only a minutes drive from Parksville and Qualicum Beach. We visit each time we stay in Parksville, you could go there a million times and still love the views! The things to do in and around Parksville and Qualicum Beach are endless!" - Tammy Schmidt, 2013 myPQB Story Contest.
"Fawlty Towers is located on Little Mountain Road. It's a hidden gem on the way to the fabulous lookout at the summit of Little Mountain near Parksville." - Carri Hall, 2012 myPQB Story Contest.
"Our four year old boy absolutely loves standing in the ocean and just enjoying the beauty of it. Of course, he loves running and splashing too. Trip to Parksville 2013." - Sasha Redmann, 2013 myPQB Story Contest
"Sunsets on Little Mountain. A favourite of mine, peaceful moments at the end of the busy summer days. And only minutes from home." - Donna Jansonius, 2016 myPQB Story Contest
"Three girls waiting anxiously to go on their daily walk. Ellie-Mae, English Bulldog, age 1 1/2 years old. Jedda and Bubbles, sisters, Pug/Boston Terrier Crosses, age 8." - Joe Scott, 2015 myPQB Story Contest
"Coming in for a landing! Such a beautiful bird and they are plentiful here. You can often see them at the shoreline just waiting for that right moment to pounce down on fish for dinner." - Lorene Kimura, 2016 myPQB Story Contest
"We spent an incredible Canada Day at Parksville's shores. Taking in the sights and sounds of the celebration at Parksville Community Park with our two boys and their cousins from Regina was incredible! I have never felt more Canadian as I did sitting on the shoreline watching the fireworks with the most breathtaking ocean scenery all around. We live in Burnaby, but Oceanside is our 'home away from home'. We choose to come back every year to take in the tranquil, idealic settings and watch our sons run - in pure joy - across the sandy beach with crabs under their toes.... This Canada Day was the topper. Perfect in every way. We'll see you next year!" - Jamie Laga, 2015 myPQB Story Contest
"This is my husband sitting on his log at Qualicum Beach, celebrating his sixtieth birthday. Well, his birthday is not until December but like he says, it is hard to get a group together then as the ocean winds will be blowing his ponytail sideways. He calls this his Fool's Paradise. I said, "no hon', OLD fool's paradise to you now. Love you hon'." - Linda Young, 2014 myPQB Story Contest
"We have lived here for about four years and love it. There is always something to do or just walks on the beach or the many forest pathways is being able to enjoy nature at its most beautiful. The island has so much to offer be it rain or shine. Feel very blessed to live here. The picture was taken on a foggy day during the herring run. Hard to tell were the ocean begins as sky and water blend together. It was great to watch." - Elzien Schopman, 2016 myPQB Story Contest
