Currently sitting in an armchair reading. The view isn’t bad, thanks to a weekend away in downtown Vancouver hotel, arranged by my wife Jen McAllister for our 19th anniversary. That forested point across the water is a small part of Stanley Park, which we biked around yesterday

Steveston, BC. One of my favourite local spots, and home to the historic Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, once the centre of the Canadian salmon industry. Fishing boats still dominate the harbour today.

Over the next bit I’ll be posting some catch-up photos cia Instagram from my annual Ken’s Birthday Road Trip Adventure, which began yesterday. This year it’s the Sunshine Coast.

Let’s start with yesterday morning. It began aboard BC Ferries on the way to the Sunshine Coast. At 8am it was as warm on the deck of the ferry as I can ever remember at any time. I’ve included a breakfast shot because, why not? instagram.com/p/CQtWHacnm5c/…

Almost time for the @abbyairshow again, so I thought I’d post my award-winning photo from the 2015 show. It’s all about living on your past glories. @ Abbotsford International Airshow instagram.com/p/CSLDrN9lIis/…

Time for another @abbyairshow photo. This time it’s the F-22 Raptor, which will be at the air show this year as well. Nice looking plane. #abbyairshow @ Abbotsford International Airshow instagram.com/p/CSM82wOlim6/…

Every @abbyairshow series of photo posts has to include the @cfsnowbirds. Another great show, tinged with sadness at the loss of Capt. Jenn Casey last year. This season is dedicated to her. #skydrive #nikonabbyairshow instagram.com/p/CSSUuA2hlsQ/…

Another @abbyairshow regular, the US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, aka the Rhino. #skydrive #nikonabbyairshow @ Abbotsford International Airshow instagram.com/p/CSTFe4RnCRX/…

My last photo of the 2021 @abbyairshow . I love the paint job on the T-33 “Black Knight”. #skydrive #nikonabbyairshow @ Abbotsford International Airshow instagram.com/p/CSTkyorLjXc/…

Some photos I took at Ryan McAllister and band concert at @fiveacresflowerfarm this past weekend. Great concert. instagram.com/p/CT2pBBpP0AP/…

Hey! I took that photo! 🙂 It’s all cool, by the way. I gave @AbbyAirshow permission when I entered a photo competition with them a few years back. Glad to see it being used!

We’re supposed to have the first cherry blossoms bloom in the next week or so. Ah, well. At least it’s pretty. instagram.com/p/CaXXi9cpO4g/…

Well, you can certainly see clearly where the shadow of the house lies. instagram.com/p/CaX8W0RvCwb/…

It’s a beautiful spring morning at Regent College. Our last week of our Summer Programs begins Monday with Karen Swallow Prior (Notorious KSP), Dr Krish Kandiah OBE, and Tom Schwanda. Join us in person or online. regent-college.edu/summer/courses…

A few more photos from the 2022 @abbyairshow. Taken with my trusty @nikoncanada D500. @ Abbotsford International Airshow instagram.com/p/ChNxNBGvP8n/…

From my other Twitter account, where (alas) I post a heckuva lot more than I do here.
