The forest reflections are from a walk by the Koksilah River, the Marina ones were observed outside the house.

Hipstamatic Camera August 8 and 9 2025
I like using Hipstamatic camera, an app made for the iPhone, at times. The results may be refreshing if not surprising.
Here are a few recent hipstamatic images. The first two were taken on an abandoned railway line where it runs along the Koksilah River, and the rest at Cowichan Bay's Fisherman's Wharf.
Let's open the show with the photographer's self-portrait:
What Will It Be... Flickr or This Blog
Flickr was my go to photo gallery and storage for many years, until I realized that the pro price was no longer in my retirement budget. I brought the number of photos back to around 900, and Flickr still worked very nicely as my showcase. However, as expected, the new management made it ever more frustrating to work through Flickr as a happy no-pro. Not sure what to do about it since I don't like the Instagram platform and every other outlet runs into money.
For a year now I have been thinking about my long dormant blogs and the other day I decided to start posting photos to this blog again, rather than to Flickr. The blog is old and friendless and that's okay. Anyone can drop in for a peek.

High summer wildflowers
The Cowichan Valley's hiking trails are everywhere with views galore. They also show a wide variety of wildflowers.
In this post I like to share a few of them. Some of them are not really wildflowers at all, but all of them were photographed in the wild.
