Summer's Finally Over

It has been a different summer in so many ways!

Spring took forever to arrive, struggling to break free of seemingly constant cool temperatures and dreary rains before mid-June.

Summer has been very un-BC-like ... sunny and dry for over 3 months until mid-October when the rains finally arrived. A true endless summer.

The sunshine and above-average temperatures literally cracked overnight, though. Within a week we went from 8-20C ranges, to barely above freezing ... bluebird days and sunshine to sleet and snow.

Now we've skipped ahead to late autumn, early winter!

McCullough Peaks Wild Horses - Cody, WY, USA

Due to health issues, I was forced to give up my equestrian event photography for two full seasons ... apparently for no real reason. Frustrating but ... what can you do when questions arise ... seek answers even if there aren't any to be had. Fingers crossed that I am able to get back into it for summer 2023.

American Bison, Yellowstone NP, USA

This summer we've been away on two road trips in our pop up truck camper ... in June an epic almost-5000km, three-week journey to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for a family reunion  (with an awesome stop to see wild horses in Wyoming!), and again in September for a week of r&r on BC's Sunshine Coast.

I am trying to document our travels using dashcam footage with varying success, creating vlogs with added photos and cell phone video, when they were available. More as a time-capsule to save our memories for ourselves and our family, than anything. The vlogs certainly don't have the look and feel that you find in other youtube travel vlogs. You're welcome to sample what's there and follow along, if you would like:

Wildfire Sunset - Lund, BC, Canada

In general, I feel that my photography has taken a step forward in recent months. Some of my work feels more (to me) like art than the simple documentation of what I see before me. See what you think by following my photography feeds on Facebook and Instagram.

Now that we're heading into winter, my "other" job is getting busier ... that's my advance excuse that this might be my last blog post for a while!

Meanwhile, stay safe, be kind ...

And see you next time!
