September 4th

12.15pm: We headed up to Kananaskis country today, I wanted to do a bit of fishing & we have a favourite spot on Mud Lake . Well the day started off quite fine, but about an hour into the trip the skies predictably darkened, the thunder rang out around the mountains ( much to the discomfort of poor Charlie) and the rain poured down with a vengeance. End of trip!

July 21st

7pm:
All summer we have had the same predictable pattern, warm, sunny mornings, cloudy afternoons & intermittent thunder storms. Well another storm just rolled through a moment ago, leaving this rather fetching rainbow in it's wake. I had to venture out onto our soggy front deck to take the picture - worth it I think.

May 18th


4pm: The weather is on the change, after about a week of sun & heat - the rain is moving in & you could see it, falling in great swathes to the west of ( a still blisteringly hot) Calgary. I got this shot by driving up a little farm track on my way home from work on Highway 22, not too far from Bragg Creek - the temperature plummeted about 10 degrees upon entering the rain, and then shot up again as I got to Canmore, nestled in the sunny mountains that can be seen far off in the distance.

January 12th


Room with a view. The view from my downtown Vancouver hotel room, on a wet Tuesday night. I think it was about 10pm & we had just finished a long days work, 14 hours or more - not a moment to take a picture all day so in desperation I concocted this shot. BC Place in the foreground with it's distinctive inflated roof, a Winter Olympics venue in a few weeks time. The Science World globe glows in the background.
