A bunch of shots, most from English Bay on a bright sunny day.

On Saturday for her birthday, Barb and I went and shot the penguins at Vancouver Aquarium. We shot other things too, but here’s a concentrated dose of seabird cuteness for your weekend pleasure.

July 14 1,375 for a total of 43465
July 13 1,352
July 12 1,257
July 11 1,789

Also over the above period – fourteen student critiques, a Buffy rewatch, and a 4,000 character biographical article about a beloved fellow author.

As part of the research process for the books and stories I’m currently writing, I went to Victoria overnight so I could go sailing aboard a tall ship. The resulting pictures include a lot of close-up of the ship’s gear and rope.

But learning aside–and there was learning–it was a lovely opportunity to go out on a gorgeous old-style sailing vessel on what turned out to be a beautiful day. S.A.L.T.S. will take any member of its non-profit out once a year–their next scheduled sailings are in September. Have a look at their site and consider whether you might want to time travel!

Okay, yes, I would go to a science and anthropology museum just for fun. But at present, all this stuff is feeding the current novels and The Gales. So here I give you the Burke Museum. Enjoy!
