Can't be doing with all these pics of sunshine and beaches. This is what it's like in the wonderful NW England.

To everyone that has posted pictures, can I just say they look absolutely awesome. Having not yet been to Canada it has really made up my mind that this is the kind of place I would love to live in, especially with what everyone says about it and the people that live there. Those pictures were like icing on the cake!
Anyway thank you all so much for the fab pics. :thumbsup:

Some ontario pics the first one are some typical barns and the second is the view from the ranney gorge suspension bridge and the third is at healey falls on the trent severn waterway. If you look closely you can see that theres a wheelchair in with the people.

Stampede: Chuckwagon races.:eek:

This is the start of the race and looks utter chaos. Which it is! Sadly three horses died in the race on the weekend, so I have mixed feelings about it. One guy ended up in hospital with fractrures of hip and arm. :(

Bananahammock...I think you are in the wrong job...bit of a David Bailey...fab photos, thanks for sharing.
Funny that you saw bears on the drive between Nanaimo and Tofino - we went there in May for a few days and saw bears on the roadside too, the same drive, about halfway between Port Alberni and Tofino (we didn't get out the car though...the dog was going madin the back, like "what is that big furry thing out there, let me play with it"!)
It was about 5pm, don't know if they are more active around the end of the day?

Adbru, have fun on the Island...

And by the way that "new toy" looks like fun Bananahammock...you should definitely get to drive it! :thumbup:

Here are some pics taken on a Road trip to Alberta from Vancouver.
Lake Moraine, the road en route, and the river flowing as you leave Lake Louise.

Hi you :)

You are right, each time I've been to Tofino the bears were around later in the day, last time we went we stopped 6 times on the way home to look at them. :thumbsup:
The photos below I took at Mt Washington last month, as I took the first one the dog started barking (don't know what she was thinking:o) you can see the bear start to sniff the air so I took the second one & got out of there!!....................stupid dog!!

Still not sure about driving the boat :unsure:

See you next week :)

Not sure if you have noticed, but your dog appears in that pic to have taken up smoking :blink: - oh and he has odd coloured eyes - how interesting.

I call this "Mr Lube, sunrise thru your pipes".

Bannahammock, glad you both escaped the bear...they say a dog can antagonise a bear and provoke a reaction...well, yes I can believe that...our dog would probably try to play with it, I would be torn between getting the hell out of here and dragging the (80lb) dog away from the bear (cos I don't think the dog would leave it!)

By the way is that a beanbag he's on (your dog)?...funny cos ours loves his "beanie" too, takes himself to bed at night if we're up too late for him!

I've seen that darth vader too, he's kind of freaky. See you next week, my sister has just decided to visit, and booked to arrive that Sunday (but not til later)! Exciting though...whale watching again then! :cool:

It worked perfectly and they are very nice indeed. I especially like the middle one.:)

I am also very jealous of your camera. ;)

I took the liberty of making a few minor tweaks to the middle image, I do hope you are not offended. :)

The difference is quite subtle, I removed some of the haze.

Cheers

Morning smelly !

First one - from Ghost Lake, from the hire boat (your recommendation, I believe) - and the second one -not sure exactly, a layby somewhere between Banff and the turn off for Field/Golden, I think ....

It's our new camera and we're still learning how to play with it !
