Deep Forest🌲⛺ A lightning fast getaway along a glacier fed river in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District of British Columbia, about an hour north of Vancouver. Good times away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the glare of computer & phone screens... just relaxing and listening to some good tunes with friends by the campfire. This is a 30 second exposure with my headlight creating a light trail around the campfire. Captured deep in the woods of British Columbia, Canada ~ June 9, 2019 🌲 . . 🔥 NOTE: Please educate yourself before heading into the woods. If you're going to have a campfire, be prepared to extinguish it by having a firefighting hand tool, such as a shovel, or at least 8 litres of water nearby. Ensure your campfire is fully extinguished before leaving your site. Ashes must be cool to touch! NEVER leave your campfire unattended. My campfire is regulation size at 0.5m (19.5in) in diameter with the flames no higher than 0.5m (19.5 in) about the height of the seat on a camping chair. There is a good 10-12m (32-40ft) diameter fire break around the rock fire pit and an easy 10-12m (32-40ft) clearing above with no branches. Learn about campfire regulations and how to prevent wildfires on the Province of British Columbia's website 🔥 .

A Whale's Tale 🐳 Yesterday's exciting day hosted by @VanWhaleWatch and their awesome knowledgeable staff, Sara and Captain Scott. Our 12 passenger zodiac departed from Fisherman's Wharf in the historic Steveston Village and made our way across the Salish Sea to the beautiful Gulf Islands near Victoria, BC. This female Humpback Whale was spotted just off the shores of Saturna Island. She was playing with her calf and teaching her the ropes! An amazing site to see and puts ocean life in a whole new perspective. Later on we were lucky to see a few pods of Transient Orcas (aka Killer Whales), seals, sea lions and up close to a bald eagle's nest on the jetty off the shores of Richmond, BC. I strongly recommend going whale watching at least once in your life. For the cost of a concert ticket, you'll have memories to last a lifetime. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would like to thank @VanWhaleWatch again for their most excellent tour. This won't be my last!!! 🐋 . #HelloBC #ExploreBC #ExploreCanada 🇨🇦 . . . . . #OceanLovers #WhaleWatching #HumpbackWhale #Whale #Whales #VancouverWhaleWatch #Steveston #RichmondBC #Vancouver @Vancouver_Canada #Canada #VeryVancouver #CanadasWorld #EarthPix #RoamThePlanet #Photos604 #604Now #TheGlobeWanderer #GreatNorthCollective #ImagesOfCanada #EnjoyCanada #CanonCanada #ShareCanGEO #TourCanada #GeorgiaStraight

Insane in the Brain ☁️ . @VancouverPD Marine Unit patrols False Creek while keeping an eye on the 4/20 protest happening on Sunset Beach. A flashback to spring of 2016 when cannabis was still illegal and the government had just promised to legalize it the following spring. It didn't happen until mid fall when a rushed and flawed rollout was mismanaged here in British Columbia. The government was only able to open one store and it's 356 km away from Vancouver. To this day, that store is the only "government run" store open in the province. Tomorrow will be the first 4/20 event with cannabis legalized here in Canada. West coast hip hop rap superstars @CypressHill will be there to celebrate. That being said, if you're heading down to the park and beach on Saturday, please be respectful and don't make a mess by trashing our beaches. Cigarette butts and roaches don't go in the sand nor the lawn. Puff, Pass & Pack It Out 🚬 🚮 .

So Far Away 👁👁 . Where's Waldo? I don't know but there's so many familiar sights in this cluster of lights at blue hour yesterday. Looking over the Burrard Inlet and English Bay to Third Beach (lower left), Ferguson Point and The Teahouse (lower right) in Stanley Park. English Bay Beach and Sunset Beach (mid frame) If you look close enough, you can see the Seawall & Inukshuk. Just above, the mouth of False Creek, the Burrard Bridge and Granville Bridge aligning as one with Granville Island in between. The taller buildings above that, the magnificent Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and the enormous Health Sciences Centre group of medical facilities. VGH is Canada's second largest hospital (after The Ottawa Hospital) The tree line above is Queen Elizabeth Park, on the right you can see the lights of 'Seasons in the Park' restaurant and a tiny slice of the Bloedel Conservatory's purple dome. Way in the distance, part of Lummi Island (I believe) and other islands in the State of Washington, USA.

A Vancouver Gem 💎🕰 . This is the old Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Building on the corner of Granville and Hastings. It's now home to the Birks company which was established in 1879. Their original building, built in 1912, was on the corner of Georgia and Granville and was demolished in 1974. The four faced clock you see is over 100 years old and is a Vancouver landmark. It was relocated from Birks' original location and restored by well known horologist Ray Saunders who built the Gastown Steam Clock.

Winterized 🤳❄🌳 . Just two weeks ago, thoughts of an early spring were swirling through my head. Daffodils, blossoms and groundhogs were in the news. Although I'm a bit disappointed, the snow certainly makes for some great Instagram pics and beautifies the city. The Vancouver Art Gallery and Hotel Vancouver as a backdrop.

Vancouver Giants 🏢🚶🏼‍♀️🏢 . Fog crept through the downtown core yesterday creating lots of photo opportunities. This was my favourite one, looking northwest down W. Georgia Street (Hwy 99) between Vancouver's tallest skyscrapers. Fog blocks the view of Stanley Park and West Vancouver in the distance.
