The Golden Burger

This past week, I made the best hamburger I’ve ever eaten. Sitting in Gold River on a Saturday afternoon hunger struck. Start with not so lean ground beef, add some spices and eggs to the mixture, use a George Forman Grilling Machine and finish with bacon, lettuce, tomato, condiments and good old Kraft singles. Not ever going to be good for you, but amazing in taste.

Digby, Hard As @#%&

This is a shot from last spring in Digby, Nova Scotia. We took a quick detour off the path to have some world famous Digby scallops. If you ever have the chance, make sure you do the same.

Good Tidings

The Beginning

Logan came down to Victoria this past weekend to do some skating. He’s been skating for a little over 3 months and when I say skating, I’m  talking about really learning the basics, not riding down hills sitting on the board as a little kid, like many of us once did. Friday the weather cooperated and Logan bagged at least six basic tricks such as, nose bleeds, ollie over the line, pivots, body varials, dragging the foot down steep hills and step off under flips. The kid was so pumped, at 9:30 am the following morning, he was ready to rip once again. Unfortunatly, the weather decided not to cooperate. So just like I did when I started to skate, a small car port became the practice ground. Sunday was pretty much the same, however the pure excitment this kid showed when learning the idea of a trick and then landing it was worth every minute standing out in the cold watching him succeed.

Showdown

I took this shot last year up in Gold River. This bear was a bigger one than the ones I’d seen prior. I’ll remember this square off forever.

Downed Pilot

This is a little bird that smacked into the window this past weekend. My dad went out and picked it up off the ground and gave it a safe place to chill while it recovered. About 2 seconds after this picture, the bird had recovered enough to fly away.
