Mt. Cheam obsession runs in the family?
As I’ve posted about several times in the past, I have a bit (well, maybe a bit more than a ‘bit’) of an obsession with our view of Mt. Cheam from our rear decks.
No matter what time of year or what weather we’re experiencing or what time of… Continue reading
Yet Another Experimental Photo of Mt. Cheam
This is only one of a few shots I got of a truly beautiful sunrise over Mt. Cheam this past week or so.
For this shot, I used the sharpen feature, cropped the image and finally used the ‘watercolor pencil’ filter.
I love the result. It has the feeling of a hand-colored sketch.
More experimentation with images of Mt. Cheam.
Lightning struck and killed our treadmill.
The kids were out. Mark and his mother had gone to Chilliwack Senior Secondary School’s 1950-2013 final reunion before it’s torn down to make way for the new school.
I was sitting here alone, blogging my daily posts on the other sites, when I heard a loud bang like an… Continue reading

So, being the shallow, gloating braggart that I am, I immediately commented… Continue reading

I noticed this post my daughter put on her Facebook page, and it reminded me of all of the drama and trials surrounding fishing, hunting and camping that caused me to not like any of them as I grew up.
Who’s to blame? The men in my life! My darling,… Continue reading
Mark Is Showing Signs of My Mt. Cheam Photo Obsession
I’m usually the crazy fanatic running around the house snapping pictures of Mt. Cheam, but a little of my craziness appears to be rubbing off on my dear Mark.
I was sitting drinking my morning coffee this morning when I hear Mark shout, “Where’s the camera?”
“Why?” I asked, only… Continue reading
My Latest Capture of Mt. Cheam
Here’s another shot taken of Mt. Cheam just as storm clouds were moving on and clear skies were appearing over the horizon.
This view from our rear deck is amazing because it’s constantly changing and presenting something new for me to photograph.
