A coastal relic living in Campbell River, BC., rattling around the beaches and the bush. Hobbies are anything nautical, unsuccesful prospecting and treasure hunting, gardening and photography. Have built and operated 5 commercial salmon/log salvage boats, and still love playing with tools, and messing about in boats.BIO"I have often thought in all the world, The saddest thing to be; Old admirals that feel the wind, But never put to sea." Al Stewart, fron Past, Present, and Future. After a lifetime of fishing, beachcombing,(log salvage) and generally messing about, health issues have put me on the beach for good. You never completely get the salt water out of your veins, though. This gallery gives me a chance to fish some memories out of shoe boxes and share them, something that's rapidly becoming another hobby. I began fishing for money at age 11, 6 if you count trading rockcod for popsicles. I hope you enjoy my reminiscing.

Wow, what a gorgeous view. Love the sea oats in the foreground. So obviously you're the only one that payed your electric bill..wooohooo! Stay safe and keep rocks in your pockets so you don't blow away. :)

But each has it's own particular charm...this one has a wonderful diagonal that draws me into the surf, down the beach...and what's that? I see a touch of blue in the heavens!!!

Funny how things work out Gene. To take it any other way, I would have had to get out of the car, and worse yet, awsy from the heater. Thanks for the kind words, the cheque is in the mail. Same price as always, right?

As i do agree with geneb, do i get a cheque too? g
But he really is right. This IS a great picture. Not that technical brilliance others show, but with very much emotional strength, with love for nature and ... arrrgh .. missing the words again. Be assured, i love this one and i'm looking forward to your next pics, be they stormy or not.
