A lone Orca puts on a nice little show following Victoria’s Dallas Road probably no more than 100 yards from shore this morning #yyj #victoriabc

5000+ hectare “Bear Gulch Fire” across the Salish Sea is a prominent part of the Victoria, BC horizon tonight and a reminder that fires know no borders #yyj #victoriabc

Was right place & time when the 1st ship of ‘24 came into port at Victoria in April

Ogden Point was in the news last week when it was announced that 22.5M is earmarked from the Federal Gov for shore power upgrades

The 2025 season kicks off 2 weeks from Thursday with Disney Wonder #yyj #VictoriaBC

Online political discourse is, we'll call it charged, these days. Turn back the clock to a simpler time when candidates from all 3 major parties could trust a kid from the prairies to try a little something different & connect constructive-ish-ly with folks through a screen😉

A few of my favourites from Hawaii Mars' last flight+landing at Victoria this summer. Cell phones have come a long way, but some moments are still worth lugging the gear out for!

A Painted Turtle shares a place in the sun with wee ones of another kind on a past bright Spring afternoon at Langford Lake. All grown up now, they prob live a simpler life than our neighbourhood pond ducks that are working with whatever open water they can find until temps turn #VictoriaBC #yyj

Great to see more and more ppl, bizzes and orgs from Vic make their way to Bluesky. I’ve pulled back from other platforms, so rebuilding the ‘firehose’ from scratch with info sources that see the value in joining this thing as it grows!

One more from the ice files... Kevin Koe delivers final shot of the Tim Hortons Brier a few years back before taking home the shiny hardware in the background. Was fortunate to have photo access for the event to see what the at-the-time new 70-200mm lens had in it #curling #tamron #nikon

While ice is on the brain, throwback to when the lens had the good fortune of sharing event-level with a pair at least as good as anyone at making the best of it 😉

Obligatory ‘it’s a lil chilly in Vic this week’ shot. Just before we moved here I made a point of standing in the the road into the wind on a -40 prairie day to burn it into the memory in case I ever fell into the trap of griping about the weather in this beautiful place #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland

360 days of grass, but I’ll be damned if the other five aren’t beautiful in their own right #victoriabc #vancouverisland

After a couple years of staring up at big beautiful Mount Wells right behind our neighborhood, I was in need of a bit more of a challenge and finally gave it a go. As much as pup seems ready for lap 2, thinking same time next wk after these prev under-used legs take a few days to bounce back😁 #yyj
