The Office

More like the view from the office really. I'm mostly pretending to work whilst gawping at snow-capped mountains instead.

We had a high of -6 degrees today. Toasty. I'm beginning to understand the lure of winter sports. How amazing to be up in the mountains in this weather with all this scenery around you?

And excuse the fitting if slightly random commentary, I was on the phone at the time.....

Max, sleeping. Spike, pretending.

Bowen Island day trip

Just an AWESOME day. Lots of fresh snow on the mountains looking back to the sunshine coast. Me and my buddy Rachael having lots of fun enjoying the views and being mostly very silly.





Here's some of the mostly silliness.... more of this kind of nonsense on Facebook.

A video of the view from the ferry crossing the straight between Horseshoe Bay and Snug Cove. The sound is the almighty Squamish wind as the freezing air rushes down from the mountains out into the Georgia Straight.

New Snow

OK, so its all melted now, but these were the scenes a very very cold morning this week.






Fair comment, this last one isn't technically snow, but it is what warmed me up after returning from the icy morning walk and made me a smiley coffee bunny.

Horseshoe Bay Daytrip

Horseshoe Bay is the ferry terminal for ferries going over to Vancouver Island. It is less than an hour's bus ride from downtown Vancouver (provided you get on the correct bus....) but once there you already feel as though you're on the edge of the wilderness frontier.
That 'rock' in the middle of the bay has had many cameo roles in movies; keep an eye out for it pretending to be an alaskan or mexican rock!
