May 16 Photo Walkabout: Sunset at the Galleries

This month we’ll walk the beach from Taylor Bay to Malaspina Galleries, in time for sunset.

Meet at 7 pm at the parking area at Gabriola Sands Provincial Park (AKA “Twin Beaches”).

It will be low tide, so we’ll walk along the sandstone shoreline to Malaspina Galleries, where the view – and the photo opportunities – can be amazing.

We’ll return to our starting point via the roads. Be sure to bring a flashlight for the return walk!

Though you’re welcome to simply show up, we suggest you let us know if you plan to attend, in case of any last-minute changes.

Venturing Out!
or “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the ….. New”

“A venture is a project or activity which is new, exciting, and difficult because it involves the risk of failure.”

Could mean a whole variety of things to each of us!

I leave it to the imagination of the viewer as to what each image might represent to its creator – me! – or even how or where it was created!

The world is wide and our imagination only limited by our own feelings, experiences and emotions.

Go ahead! Try something new!
