The almighty chief

Lighthouse Park to Breckenridge

I seriously don't know if this was worth it, four melting snowfields on a big boulder field. Then again to claim a 14,000+ footer in mid June, maybe it was.

Tide pools in lighthouse park with downtown Vancouver.

B, Merc and T posted on the rocks

I spy four no trespassing signs, and down the road one read "trespassers will be shot on sight". No one was around though.

Those nasty little buggers. We feel your pain CO.

Little visitor while we were grilling a feast.

Favorite shot of the trip.

Sunset was nice but no alpenglow.

Coastal Cruising

Two tired tug boats after a long day.

I could do this for a summer with a bum knee....

On the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Gibsons (and Le Sunshine Coast)

The little town of Egmont near the Skookumchuck Narrows.

One of the many stash spots of Smuggler's Cove.

Awww..... my very cropped view of Stanley Park and the north coast mountains. Its truly summertime and I need a job!!

February 17, 2009

So I found the cheap camera I sometimes bring riding, and the last picture was from the last time I was playing in the snow, February 17. I can't believe I've been hobbling around on crutches for over two months now. Physio said I'd be on a cane by May and a classmate offered me his balance board for the summer to quicken the recovery. Just a couple more finals till freedom...

Finals

I swear it wasn't more than a blink of an eye since the last time I was procrastinating during finals. These years are flying by way too fast....

...and the only remedy I found to slow it down:

a sunset and some conversation.

The knee is coming along, daily exercise and stretching. I've been crutching so much I wore through the foot pads and had to replace them.
