What? No Rapture?

What? No Rapture?

May 21, 2011:

No sign of any rapture action here in Victoria today, just some rain, and a whack of tourists delivered by cruise ships. Here are a few photos from Victoria on supposed rapture day.

Wednesday Hike – Fairfield – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Fairfield – Victoria, BC

May 18, 2011:

Hockey or hike? It would be nice to say that I always choose activity over sitting around, but that’s not really how it is; tonight it was a hike and I still managed to catch a bit of the Canucks and Sharks game. We started [...]

Friday Photos

May 13, 2011:

It’s Friday again. With a couple bike rides in the bank this week I felt less guilty about not doing much this evening aside from a walk along the water after work. Took some pics along the way while cursing the photo gloominess, but enjoying [...]

Wednesday Hike – Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

May 11, 2011:

Spring seems to be taking its time getting going this year, but since I’ve been lazy for the last few months I’ve hardly noticed. Tonight, evidence of Spring was in plain sight at Uplands Park where there was Camas everywhere and all sorts of other [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Doug – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Doug – Victoria, BC

May 4, 2011:

Aspen Extreme! Tonight’s hike at Mt. Doug involved a steeper climb to the top than our usual; nothing wrong with a bit more challenge than usual. The sky was pretty clear tonight so the views of the city and the mountains were pretty damn good. [...]

Walk – Times Colonist 10K – Victoria, BC

May 1, 2011:

Today I joined the masses with a few of the Wednesday night hikers for the 2011 Times Colonist 10K. I have only ever done one running race sometime back in the nineties. Actually, it wasn’t even a running race, it was the run leg of [...]

April 17, 2011:

After a pretty good bike ride today, I headed down to Oak Bay Marina to take some photos and unwind. I didn’t really have anything in mind in terms of a theme for the outing, so I was kind of surprised it ended up being [...]

Hike – Mt. Work to Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

Hike – Mt. Work to Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

April 16, 2011:

Longish hike numero deux for Michelle and I today. Last week we did about 17km at Thetis Lake; this week we started at the north end of Mt. Work near Durrance Lake and headed south. The hike itself was good… big climb up to about [...]

Wednesday Hike – Gonzales Bay & McNeill Bay – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Gonzales Bay & McNeill Bay – Victoria, BC

April 13, 2011:

Tonight was sort of a crap sandwich for weather. While we were actually hiking the weather was not far off of perfect, but I seem to recall it being crappy a couple hours before the hike, and it was definitely crappy afterward. By crappy I’m [...]

Hike – Thetis Lake Park – Victoria, BC

Hike – Thetis Lake Park – Victoria, BC

April 9, 2011:

There has been some discussion in the household about doing some longer one-day hikes this year… Albert Edward and Juan de Fuca most notably. With that in mind, Michelle and I have decided that we will need to do some preparation since both of the [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic – Victoria, BC

April 6, 2011:

Did a nice, slightly longer than average Wednesday hike at Mt. Tolmie, UVic, and Mystic Vale tonight. I think I mentioned it last time… there are no rabbits left at UVic… very weird. Thanks to some expert guidance (thanks Corinne and Gracee) we ended up [...]

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

March 30, 2011:

Tonight’s hike location… Francis King Park. I kind of thought it was going to rain, but aside from some barely noticeable drops here and there it was fine. Let’s see, there was some sweet trail, there was skunk cabbage, there was slippery rock, there was [...]
