Here is part two from my Hornby Island weekend ~ you can find part one here. This part is actually two days combined, Saturday which was a full day and Sunday which was a shorter travel day.

It was a packed one ~ we visited Helliwell Provincial Park in the morning for a personal project (that will be coming along later), visited the Free Store where I got a ton of great books for my son, played with Tess on the deck of the beach house, took more walks on the beach, visited Middle Mountain Mead where we sampled some fabulous honey wines, prepared Emily for her photoshoot, and cheered Tess on as she gave us a grand violin concert.

This has become an annual trip now and I hope that I will be able to attend next April as well for some more adventures with these wonderful ladies! Til next year!

 

Last weekend, I had the privilege of going to Hornby Island for 4 days with 11 other photographers to hang out, eat marvelous food and get a taste of what the island was all about. Especially since I had never been there before.

Emily, Alanna and I began our trip from Vancouver early on Thursday morning and made it to the island by mid-afternoon. The rest of that day was spent getting settled in, meeting new people (for me, since I was the only new person invited this year) and planning our next few days together. These images were actually taken on the second day of our stay and a few of the things that we got up to that day like a visit to the Whaling Station Bay, the Potter’s studio, eating a few superb meals and taking walks along the beach.

I don’t get to do this kind of thing often, actually, I haven’t had a break that didn’t involve work in some manner in a very, very long time. Which means, I don’t really know what to do with myself with a lot of downtime. I will admit however, being able to sleep past 6 am and sleep 9 hours a night was pretty much the icing on the cake for me. And also eat meals that I didn’t have to prepare myself!

The lovely ladies that were also at the beach house that weekend were:
