A short drive out to the China Beach parking lot with Emily and the dogs on a busy May Long weekend and we were off to Mystic Beach. With a winding trail through the trees and over the roots for 2km its not the easiest hike. Multiple small stream crossings as well as a suspension bridge are part of the trail down to the beach.

We took a spring trip to Vancouver to visit some family and Emily and I headed out to take a few photos on the one night we were in town.

Next adventure on my Sunrise Series was to try to shoot from the top of a cliff on the side of Skirt Mountain, AKA Bear Mountain. Continue reading →

Continue reading →
With the absolutely stellar weather we’ve been having in Victoria, BC I decided to take advantage and shoot some sunrise photos down at the Esquimalt Lagoon. With the sun coming up at 7:20am it was also not a grueling morning to get up and at the beach before the sun rose. Continue reading →
