The olympics are starting very soon and Im prepared to be out to get as many photos as possible. Here the torch comes through lower lonsdale at 7:30am.
This is the Russian ship the Kruzenshtern coming to port in North Vancouver.
Some of the passengers on the Kruzenshtern as its being tied up to the dock.
The Kruzenshtern docked at the Pier in North Vancouver.
(Left) The Sheraton Vancouver HDR. I passed by this today and just had to stop on my way home to capture this building. I really think this photo would be better if the trees and flowers were out. Maybe I'll take another one next month.
(Above) NY staircase in Vancouver. We went for a walk downtown today and I saw this amazing older building in the Westend.
(Above) Went to the migratory bird sanctuary again today. It was pretty quite but I love seeing these wood ducks. The feathers behind their heads are just beautiful.
I was out to Whytecliff park today with Kash and Steve checking out the scenery. I dont know what kind of birds these are but I snapped a few shots before the rain came down again and we were forced to come home. Tomorrow is suppose to be a sunny day so maybe some better pictures then.
This is just the view from our balcony, I hardly left the house today...not to say I wasn't productive. I hear about lots of work coming to Vancouver in the film industry but how come everyone is unemployed right now.....hopefully something comes in soon.
(Above) I went to Lighthouse Park again trying to get that shot overlooking the city. The clouds came in and ended the hopes for that so I started walking around to the other side of the park. On my way I heard this little guy just off the trail. I snapped a few quick photos and at least one turned out ok. Then along the way I ran into a woman staring up into the trees, the weird thing about it though is that she was walking around wrapped in a blanket with no shoes on. Mud all over her feet....i kid you not I wish I had the guts to snap a photo for proof but Im not.
(Above) Then I heard over on the other side of the light house. I ran over, climbing rocks and following the sound till there they were. I was surrounded by eagles landing in the trees around me. I sat there for awhile cleaning my lens off and watching them. Later on I was accompanied by a few other people watching these amazing birds.
(above) After everyone left a shrimp boat drove by and drew all of the eagles out into the water so I was able to capture them flying back into the trees.
(Above) I call this guy patches, he is also in the last photo I believe.
(Above) More eagles coming in from the shrimp boat.
(Above) This one here landed on the branch just in front of me. I would have captured him landing if I wasnt on the phone trying to brag about all the eagles I just saw to Santiago.
(Above) I went to the Bird Sanctuary today with Santiago. This little guy came down right in front of me on this girls hand so I quickly snapped 1 photo before it flew away.
(Above) This is a Blue Heron just hanging out in field, I dont know how they stay that still but you hardly see them move at all.
