The clouds up in Penticton were amazing. I could easily have taken a million shots of the sky. I remember Joe McNally saying that if you want to make a photo interesting, just add water. The 2nd image works well for me because of the water drops on Owen’s face and the contrast created by...
Isabelle sitting on her Great Nina’s sofa in Penticton, BC… just after waking from a nap.
We spent a few days up in Penticton visiting my Grandparents. The weather was freakishly cold for this time of the year so we didn’t get to swim as much as we would have liked. The first photo, the one of Ben, makes me laugh. He looks a mini David Hasselhoff or some sort of...
Holy moly, what a drive home! After what seemed like fifty hours of sitting in our car on the I5, we arrived at the wonderful outlet malls located in Tulalip. Blah! It seemed that everyone else had the same idea as us. Could that place get any busier? Aside from my complaining, which was pretty...

We spent the morning at Cannon Beach just wandering around browsing through the shops, after wards, everyone went to Arcadia Beach.
On our way down to Nehalem Bay we stopped off at Trader Joe’s and stocked up on supplies. I mean food and of course a weeks worth of knock off Coronas and two buck… I mean three buck Chuck. The prices and selection of alcohol in the United States never ceases to amaze me. My...
After a long drive with plenty of stops, we arrived at Nehalem Bay State Park. Guess what? The sun was shining! We were rained out last year so this was no small miracle! After setting up camp we headed for the beach. This series of photos was taken within a five minute walk from our...
