Carnival Cruise Ship Carnival Spirit leaving Vancouver, Canada.
It is only 6 months until Vancouver hosts Winter Olympics! I understand they are going to bring in a couple of cruise ships to help meet the demand for lodging.
We rented a small boat and followed two cruise ships as the departed Vancouver and passed under the Lions Gate Bridge. It was fun even though the light was only so so.

Whistler Village, British Columbia, Canada.
One of the great things about Whistler is the lack of automobiles. The stores and restaurants in town don’t face the roads, but instead, they front a large network of walkways known as the Whistler Stroll. That coupled with a convenient bus service make having a car not only unnecessary, but almost a liability. We were sure glad we hadn’t rented one!
The gondolas leading up either Whistler or Blackcomb mountain are found at the end of this walkway, so even if you are skiing or downhill biking, you can still walk from most hotels.

Looking across the Inner Harbour at the historic Empress Hotel.
We are hitting the office pretty hard right now, so I thought I would share a few more photos from our recent Canada trip. This is another one from the beautiful Inner Harbour area of Victoria. And yeah, that is how the spell harbor in Canada.

The Bowl, Mt Marathon, Seward, Alaska.
The trail locally know as the “Mt Marathon trail to the bowl” has really become popular in recent years and for good reason – it rocks!
The trail begins in Seward at 1st avenue and Monroe, just keep following Monroe up the mountain. After leaving town, the first section winds through a stretch of beautiful tall tress that help make up the temperate rain forest. Once you climb up out of the rain forest, you are rewarded with some wonderful views of the City of Seward and Resurrection Bay. After a bit more climbing, you eventually reach a cool little alpine valley where a clear stream twists, turns and waterfalls through fields of wildflowers and colorful boulders – some of which you can see in yesterday’s Mt Marathon post. Then, after climbing the final stretch which is made up mostly of a long snow field, you reach the Mt. Marathon bowl you see pictured here. This was captured at sunrise Monday morning.
Fireweed amazes me! That stuff can grow where few, if any other plants can survive.

The plan was to continue posting photos on the blog from our recent trip to British Columbia, as I worked hard in the office. Well, the weather turned so nice, we couldn’t stay inside! So yesterday afternoon we grabbed the backpacks, tent and camera gear and headed for the hills! This was captured just before sunset last night – unfortunately the sky didn’t light up, but it was a great place to hang out!
After photographing sunrise, we were still back home by 9:30, so we had a nice night in the field, and can still get some office work done!
