Instagram isn't really Mike Richman's thing. In fact, social media isn't his jive. He'd rather talk to people, for real. He'd rather do, than take selfies. He does have an instagram account, but only because the girls on his basketball team peer-pressured him into it. But when I asked him to take-over the instagram account … Continue reading When the Mayor took over the instagram account and got this close to Billy Idol
Victoria explained, when she submitted this photo, that she was playing with the idea of perspective. Looks like a lake. But it was really a puddle. This is what my three year old is trying to teach me on a regular basis. Puddle. Lake. Hassle. Blessing. It's all in how you look at it.
We were out searching for Barred Owl, our eyes trained on perches where we’d seen them before, ears straining for any squawking sounds. About fifteen metres up an old cottonwood tree, I spied a perfectly owl-sized hole and we stopped to check it out with our binoculars. The hole was spectacularly vacant and remained that … Continue reading The Owl Hole

There's a reason she's Pemberton's favourite artist. And it's right there in black, white, pink, turquoise, brown, red... Vanessa Stark's image featured on the Pique's Best of Pemberton cover.
I have family out east, who say they feel claustrophobic in the mountains - they like the wide skies of their flatland home. I'm sympathetic. But I like these mountains that hold up our sky. And the glimpses of sky and all its drama and glory. Thanks to Shayla Wallace for her ongoing Saturday posts. … Continue reading Shayla Wallace keeps an eye on the sky
