No DM's. Retired photographer on Vancouver Island, sailor with a mouth to match. Constantly surprised by stupidity. Happily married. As Canadian as possible under the circumstances.

We have some orange roses that our friend gave us a couple of years ago. They start out full orange and age to white with beautiful edge details.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
Just another sunset with trees silhouetted against a rosy palette. Ballet Bay, British Columbia.

Deep breath.
A sailboat is silhouetted by the sunset. Dark lines of trees lead off into the distance. Very far in the distance, a person is holding up a sign saying "Free Beer Tomorrow".

True North strong and free.
A sandy beach strewn with driftwood logs on the west coast of Vancouver Island. A range of low mountains recedes to the southeast.

A red Canadian-made C&C sailboat under full sail flying a giant Canadian flag off the stern.

It's going to be a green Christmas here. We still have roses and fuschias blooming. Usually it looks something like this:
A very snowy day looking down our driveway; all the hedges and plants are covered in snow, and bright flakes are still coming down.

Canada isn't all ice and snow. Here on Vancouver Island, we still have roses.

It's real. No AI involved. The same spot in daylight, different year.
A small deer stands on the shore of a rocky outcrop. Behind the deer is a rocky lagoon, with a blue and white powerboat passing in front of a forested island. In the distance, wooded hills rise to a partially cloudy sky.

Hello from Victoria.
A sailboat sits at a dock in front of the Empress Hotel in the evening light.

Three cartoons from the brilliant B Kliban that sum up in my pea brain wtf is happening.
A crowd of people with signs held backwards, march with a banner reading "Imbeciles of America", upside down. One man pulls and one pushes: a cart with square wheels carrying a pile of round wheels. How to describe? Two people in a room, with a table and chair. On the table is an upside-down pig standing on its head with a funnel in its butt. Next to the pig, a woman holding a man's shoe offers to pour something from a ewer into the pig funnel. In the chair, the man missing a shoe declines smilingly whatever the woman is doing. Even the cartoonist didn't know what this was about.

We sailed around it in 2013. 3 months, mostly excellent weather.

Looking south over a driftwood-strewn beach with a range of low mountains to the left receding into the distance. A Canadian flag waves over a solitary sand beach on the underside of Brooks Peninsula, west coast of Vancouver Island. Just off to the right is the open ocean with Japan the next landfall.

Canada. Central leftist lunatic.
Tiny sail against a series of mountains. Water in the foreground with wash from the motor, receding horizon. How small we are.

Sundown in forest fire season a few years ago. Winter Cove, Saturna Island BC.

Yellow and red sun is low in the smoke-filled sky. A single powerboat is silhouetted against the far shore. The sun makes a red track in the water. Low islands are visible on each side of the picture.

Please add me to the pack. Ta.
A Nonsuch 36 sits silhouetted and mirrored against a fog bank. Ripples on the water and a couple of crab trap buoys are the only other details. Grey on grey.
