Deep Cove
I relax
Let my thoughts drift
On the clear water
They lap lightly
On the shores of consciousness
Dubh Linn Gate Après
But the house lager is not
The bar maids all pretty
In pleated skirts and knee socks
I come for my friends
For the best band in the town
For the wood and the charm
The best Après around
A hard day, even for a stone face
Tantalus and Cheakamus
Whistler is something of a second home to me, which is great. The resort provides all kinds of wonderful activities. Skiing, of course, and mountain biking. But also, swimming, canoeing, hiking, snow shoeing. Having a pint or four at the Dubh Linn Gate pub while Ruckus Deluxe takes the stage.
Looking Back
Even into the gloomiest times
I can still see the beauty
But looking deeply into the past
Offers no more clarity
Than looking forward
Forward Viewing
Funneling it up over the rail
Into my chest, my face, through my hair
Rippling it like a flag in a storm
I hold the camera
Steady as I can, buffeted
Enjoying the sound of rushing air
The very brush of existence
Vancouver Island Whirlwind
Vancouver Island Whirlwind ~ Images depicting my whirlwind writing and photography tour of Vancouver Island
Returning from Departure Bay
Like beginnings, the endings
Do not come at home
The journey is finished
When we no longer roam
There’s a point when we look back
To recall what was seen
And a little remorse
For what might have been
Black Frank
And Admiral’d the fleet that made tubs go
When they mounted an engine
“Well,” Frank said, “let’s go racin’!”
Across Georgia Strait, what a great show!
