Paddle Boarder, Vancouver. Given the distance this guy paddle boarded, it was no wonder he took a break to simply take in all the beauty of Vancouver's North Shore. On his way back, I was astonished at his speed. No sooner had I taken the photo of him in front of the tanker (with the houses of West Vancouver in the background) when he was already "midship" and then past it!
The haze in these shots is due to the smoke from BC's wildfires drifting down to the coast. Still occurring as late as today, a day after "Fire Season" officially ended despite 153 active fires still burning in the province at a "mere" cost of $510 Million (and counting). And 65,000 residents evacuated over the summer. And still I see drivers carelessly tossing cigarettes out their vehicles.
Perhaps they need to spend some time paddle boarding out on the ocean taking in these grand views to appreciate the preciousness of the Nature which sustains us!
Sorry I've been MIA a bit and still recovering. This flu took me down really good or my body just used this flu to remind me that I need to slow down. Still coughing and congested but getting better. I still have to take sick days off for recovering. Hope everyone is well and ok. I'm itching to get back to Flickr but I was ordered to rest for a bit more. Take care and miss you all!!
Driving alone down the interstate is so fatiguing that even a normal rest stop break isn't enough to wake me up. Recently, I've added a "rest stop" challenge of 15 minutes of photography. Not only is it more successful at waking me up, but I even end up with some decent shots despite the less than inspiring setting.
HSS!
Resting on the ice of Lake Hefner in OKC. They often use the tactic of tucking one foot up in their feathers to warm it. I feel for all the critters out there battling this frigid weather. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
