The first spot was some broken down jetty thing. It was a lovely little spot. The water was almost perfectly still and gave wonderful reflections, except for when someone came and launched their boat there. Apparently the lighting was better an hour before we got there, but I still found it pretty good anyway.
Next up there was a spot where we could see a bunch of boats. We didn't stay here for long because the light was perfect pumpkin light.
So off we went to the pumpkin patch. The week before the trip I bought a new toy for my camera, a polarizing filter. It did a splendid job of removing the glare from the pumpkins, and also made for some very blue skies.
Our final stop was at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary. There was a big potato field there that was just full of thousands of snow geese. We were lucky enough to see them all take off at once. Charles was pretty excited about this. He has been going there for years in the hope of seeing this site, and kept telling us how incredibly fortunate we were to see it on our first visit. Unfortunately I only have a little mini-lens for my camera, so couldn't get much detail of the geese taking off, but I guess you can get the idea of the scale of it from the photo.
It was very nice to get out of Vancouver for a change. It kind of made me miss having a car, but I think I am over it now, buses are so much cheaper.
