Why I love photography

Campbell River, British Columbia

Last week I went for a short trip out to Campbell River and my goodness, what a stunning place!  I have a friend who moved there a few months back and he invited me so off I went. 

One of the first things we did was I grabbed my camera and off to the shores to take a walk, my friend lives two minutes from the shore and it's absolutely stunning! 

A large piece of driftwood to me is an excellent photo opportunity... 


One of the days I was there we went out fishing, it was gorgeous til we were on our way back and it started to rain, I was shivering cold but it the fishing was worth it.  I caught three fish, now that's a first since I was a teenager. 


This is the boat we were out on, a friend of my friends took us out and even though I was a bit leery at first I soon saw how competent he was and relaxed.  We pulled the boat in here and the only place to go was up so off I went climbing places which I probably shouldn't have been but the view was breathtaking. 


Another day we took a drive out to Elk National Park and went down to the waterfalls, there's a suspension bridge which only freaked me out when I looked down, so I tried really hard not to look down as I crossed. 


Everything from walking down the piers, hiking to the waterfalls and braving the suspension bridge, you bet I had an amazing time.  The only complaint I have is my trip wasn't long enough, but as I told my friend, I shall return! 


The trip was one of those trips where I just don't know which pictures to post, but I'll stop right about here, if you're ever in B.C. definitely take in the Island, you won't be disappointed! 

Thank you Jerry, your hospitality is immensely appreciated!
