My walk on the beach yesterday

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: July 9, 2010

We’ve had the most incredible weather this week. Sunny, hot, not a cloud in sight. Normally this would be cause for some concern on my part and I’d be hiding in the dark, cursing the sun, but since this wackiness with my back, hot weather has been a great help. Being in Vancouver, there’s never any guarantee that the weather will last though. At any minute, the clouds could roll in and we won’t see sunshine for a month. So seize the day takes on a whole rich meaning.

And I’ve been seizing!

Okay, so I’ve been walking, not so much seizing, but it’s been lovely!

To add to it, I decided to take out the camera and try to capture it. For those that know me, you know how crazy that idea can be. I can’t take decent pictures. Everything shakes. It’s out of focus. If there are people, they’ve all been decapitated. But what the hell, I gave it a shot.

When I got home and downloaded what I had, I was pleasantly surprised. No, scratch that. I was freaking amazed! Not a single blob shot. No black shots. No camera cords in the pictures. All of them came out crystal clear and they all captured that certain feel of a Vancouver morning close to the water. There’s something about the air here, where the light blue of the sky doesn’t look real and it softens just as it hits the mountains. If I’d gotten up even earlier, I would have loved to capture green light, but maybe sometime next week, if the weather holds.
