I'm always happy when a bird flies into a shot of a sunset or landscape... Although, like all things moderation is important.

Every once in a while the gulls gather in ridiculous numbers for a few days.

A Great Blue Heron spreads its wings while standing on a rock near Big Beach in Ucluelet. I shot this in February of 2022. I wonder how many photos I've taken of that same heron, since...

Another one from sunset a few days ago on the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet. I find the intense squall fascinating. Note the sliver of a moon in the top left. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

A few seconds of last night's sunset from the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet. The sky was dramatic, the colours ethereal and I even got to share it with of a few local birds.

Taken from a longer video on the YouTube channel.

A fresh holiday treat on the YouTube channel, last night's sunset from the Wild Pacific Trail. I'll share some clips from it here in the coming days but for now you can only find it via this link; youtu.be/1RG3IodCqK8

Whatever and however you may be celebrating this time of year I hope it's filled with joy.

Thanks to you all for tuning in over the years. Fresh posts may slow down a bit for a while but I have a bunch of greatest hits stuff cued up for you to show off to your friends and family over the holidays

A timelapse of this evening on the Wild Pacific Trail, just north of Big Beach. I'll love the contrast of the distant rain passing on front of the setting sun. I'll have some photos in a bit.

A cormorant watching the storm blow into Ucluelet this evening at Big Beach. The seas were chaotic and it was windy but this one seemed largely unbothered by it all. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

Drama this evening at "The Galleon" near Big Beach in Ucluelet, Vancouver Island. I got a few shots with better light this evening but the tension in this on seems to work, even without the light.

A few from today at Big Beach, Ucluelet for golden hour. You could see, hear, feel and smell the weather coming.

Golden hour at Big Beach in Ucluelet, Vancouver Island today, December 22. There was some great drama in the waves and the sky.

I got more but won’t be able to share until after the power some back on. 3 cheers for the BC Hydro line crews.

Here's another look at Cox Bay in Tofino, last week. I've lived around here for about 20 years and I often forget that most visitors never see it like this. #Tofino #Ucluelet #VancouverIsland

Lovekin Rock (sorry, I don't know the Nuu Chah Nulth name for it) at Long Beach on Vancouver Island.

The white splashes you can see in the distance are coming from waves hitting a reef, just offshore about 5 km down the beach. They must be huge!

Tonight's sunset in Ucluelet didn't really manifest from my location so here's a photo of a sunset that did, taken from that location, years ago. I hope that makes sense.

Buoy Y43 near the entrance to Ucluelet Harbour this morning. I like the sort of sepia quality of the distant yellow light behind the reef contrasted with the blue, green and grey of the foreground
Fingers crossed the weather holds out for a sunset this evening.

We haven't had a bunch of great photography weather around Ucluelet, lately.
Little light and lots of rain but there have been some decent waves to watch. This is Amphitrite Point in Ucluelet earlier this week. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

We don’t get a bunch of snow here. In fact, the little frosting at the top of the mountains is usually it for most of the winter.

Some clips from Cox Bay in Tofino, Vancouver Island yesterday. Not an historic storm out here but part of the weather system that has been causing flooding elsewhere this week. Shot from a safe distance with a telephoto lens #Tofino #Ucluelet #VancouverIsland

A Great Blue Heron having a bad feather day at Big Beach a while back.

I spent most of the day putting a new motherboard in the editing computer. The operation was a success but I still feel a bit like this guy looks wondering if it would all work out.

A year ago today I watched The Philippine Mars take off from Sproat Lake. The 2nd attempt ather final journey to a museum in Arizona. Engine trouble would turn her around again but, for me, it was the last time I heard and saw one of Vancouver Island's great icons.

A rainbow at Big Beach in Ucluelet, Vancouver Island a while ago.

I'll be shipping a print of this one out in the morning and it will eventually be delivered to Manila. The idea that a hardcopy print of mine will be hanging there is a little mind-blowing for me.

Rainy conditions continue around the area so I'll keep digging into the archive for photos from more camera-ready days.

Here's Lovekin Rock, at Long Beach, Vancouver Island with Mount Ozzard in the distance. Shot on a misty morning this summer.

Shots of Amphitrite Point on a wavy, but not quite stormy day earlier this fall. Featuring the Amphitrite Lighthouse, seagulls and the usual dramatic yet soothing energy of the Pacific Ocean caressing Vancouver Island

3 new clips of waves crashing on the rocky coast along the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet, Vancovuer Island a few weeks ago. This is from the section just North of Oyster Jim's Bench.
