	“An Afternoon At The Villa“- we have formed a working relationship with TLC The Land Conservancy of BC recently, and this was our initial post highlighting a home here in Victoria, BC. Built in 1865, it is one of less than twelve remaining homes from this period in the city, and TLC has been working for over 10 years to restore it.
	“Rusty Gems“- the BC Forest Discovery Centre in the Cowichan Valley is a wonderful place to visit for a totally unique adventure. People of all ages come to the museum and revel in the items and artifacts on display. We’ve been hosting a very large photoblog series on this facility, and this post has been one of the most popular to date.
	“George Sawchuk’s Wacky Woods – In Memory“- an artist and genius at work, George Sawchuk created the most amazing outdoor art exhibit. George recently passed away in the spring of 2012 and we were saddened by the loss and visited the exhibit with the express intent of capturing as much as possible to share with a larger audience.
	“The Deafening Sound Of Fury“- we really enjoy photographing exotic cars, and recently have joined forces with the Victoria Corvette Club in an effort to provide photography services. Our first event attended was a slalom event hosted in Nanaimo, and this blog post describes this event and shares some image.
	“Old Growth: Cathedral Grove“- Cathedral Grove is situated in the heart of Vancouver Island in BC, Canada, and is home to some of the oldest trees in existence. Some of the trees are over 1,000 years old, and this post shares a great set of images from this enchanted place and discusses the history behind the area.
	“A Bridge Of Hope“- the Kinsol Trestle is the largest free-standing wooden structure in North America, and perhaps even the world. An amazing feat of engineering almost 100 years ago, this bridge has recently undergone extensive restoration and now is an important part of the history and heritage of Vancouver Island.
	“Waiting On A Train“- a series of images taken in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada showcases some of our beautiful farms. Rolling landscapes, horses foraging on rolling hillsides and trucks half buried creating display artifacts all merge to create the sense of island living at it’s very best.
	“The King’s Bedchamber“- this blog post takes us inside a castle to view and enjoy a series of images of a castle’s bedchamber. Bright, vivid photography takes us all back several hundred years. You can almost hear the hooves of the knights coming home from a hard day in battle as the King himself waits in his bedchamber for news of the day.
	“Glen Lake Elementary – Closing A Chapter“- as local landmarks disappear, we take great pride in trying to photograph these facilities before they disappear forever.  This elementary school was an important part of the neighborhood and area for many years and just recently was closed and selected for demolition.  These may very well be the last images of this old school.
	“The Toad’s Chariot“- the life and story of a beautiful exotic rare roadster that is currently owned by the Toads is shared alongside a series of incredible images. A quick jaunt to the ocean-side provided a perfect backdrop for this shoot, and coupled with the story of how this car came to join our family, this photoblog post has been very popular.
