I went for a ride today with my old pal John Taplin, we enjoyed a good shred on my favorite trail of the summer: Jumping Pound Loop. I took along my D200 for its first biking ride. It did a good job, although I have a lot to learn about the auto focus system! I have not been shooting nearly enough riding… I’ve only had my camera out once this year!!
Day Seven was a travel day. Back to Vancouver and then up too Salt Spring Island. Which was the location for Steven + Alisons wedding. We scouted some locations and enjoyed the Green Acres Cottage Resort.
On Friday we did some errands to get flowers, pies and people ready for the wedding the next day. On stop was the gardens where Alison had ordered the flowers from. Everlasting Summer is a gorgeous bit of property and not only a commercial garden but also a very pretty place to walk about… and take a few photos.
Back at the cottages later than evening a few Deer were grazing and wandering about. One in particular stopped in quite a good spot for me to capture a nice image.

My uncle has a few amazing new cars. A ’62 Corvette and a 30′s Ford hotrod. The are simply beautiful.
Uncle Alan requested a little photo shoot with the cars. He has an old Gas pump outside the garage and wanted Aunty Margaret to be ‘gassing up’ the hotrod and to have himself at the end of the drive with the Corvette waiting impatiently in line. Fun Idea especially combined with the detail of Baldrick wearing driving goggle sitting in the Corvettes passenger seat! He seems to quite enjoy the goggles and his throne! He is such an awesome dog!

I took a lot of photos on the fifth day of my Holiday. Here are a few non macro photos of the property, house, my favorite cousin Baldrick and into sunset time with some adventures on the beach with some crab friends.

My Aunt and Uncle have an amazing property north of Vancouver on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve taken many photographs there before.
This visit was no different. The flower garden was quite lovely with varieties I’d not been able to photograph before.

Went on a hike to the suspension bridge on the North Shore of Vancouver. Can’t remember the name.
After departing and leavening Steven and Alison, I hopped on the ferry to the sunshine coast to visit my Aunt and Uncle and 4 legged cousin.
