I love seeing the Camas in the spring. This is an HDR - blended by "hand". I love the way the flowers are backlit, but I wanted that morning sky included as well. This was taken at Cattle Point in Oak Bay, Vancouver Island. #yyjphotographer #photographyislife #camas #sunrisephotography #vancouverisland

This image is a response to a photo challenge a while ago asking for patterns. This closeup of orca teeth fit the bill nicely. Thank you @salishseacentre for leaving your school materials out while the Sidney Camera Club visited. #sidneybythesea #yyjphotographer #salishsea #orca #closeupphoto
