Here is a cool frog. Sorry for the think in view, I was shooting through a fence and this was the clearest one I could get. #frog

You can sometimes see a lot from the shore.

That angle and zoom makes it looks very abstract. Love it!

Next stop, Hawaii! 8 hours 20 minutes in a Q400 ;-)

Off to Australia… so long, safe travels!

C-GWEG is bound for Hawaii. This appears to be an ex-Westjet Encore Q400.

Caution, Birds

Big, big birds.

Well, landing heron. But what moves it has!

Snake 909 came down yesterday and flew near Victoria. Good times.

One of the most iconic places to do photography... I'm so fortunate to have been here twice thanks to my wife!

More room the better! Thanks for sharing the interior photos from the ECs. Looks tight enough there, for sure.

Also, that’s a great 99th patch! Haven’t seen that one yet (I’m a bit of a patch nerd) ;)
