It was a soggy trip up the Sea to Sky but we still enjoyed being out and about. Here’s One Mile Lake in the rain.

Visiting Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC
I had a chance to drop by Royal Roads University where I did my MA in Professional Communication years ago. It was a gorgeous day despite the cold wind.

Wonderful Memory from NYC – Teacher’s College, Columbia Uni
OMG. . . This is likely one of the earliest photos that I shot, developed the film, and printed and mounted the photo.
Just found it spilling out of a storage box in my office.
Circa 1970. Teacher’s College, Columbia University, New York.
This was while my late Mom was doing graduate work at Columbia, and my late Dad was doing his psychiatry residency at Bronx State Hospital.
I remember several faces in this photo. It was an experimental “free school” where kids pretty much ran rampant.
I got leave to spend hours in the school darkroom to learn photography, and I’d also beg my teachers to let me go explore the gorgeous libraries at Columbia.
I love libraries and librarians to this day. The research staff at Columbia libraries were wonderful with an early teen who absorbed text and info at a prodigious rate 
.
We ordered textbooks from Canada so that my sister and I wouldn’t be behind when we returned to public school after a couple of years.
Putting 5.11 Tactical Pants to Rest
I put a pair of 5.11 Tactical Pants to rest today.
Sigh. . . I have two pairs, and one pair was so worn with multiple patches that it finally bit the dust.
The seat was so worn that you could almost see through it, and though I like to think I have a cute butt. . .
These are amazing pants. They have, like, a bazillion pockets, and when I had them fully loaded, they probably weighed over 5kg .
.I rotated between the two pairs, wearing them nearly daily for years and years.
Hiking, camping, streamkeeping. . . Wedding and event photography because they looked nice enough to wear with a blazer, yet could carry extra batteries and flash units in all those pockets.
Eyeing a new pair. . .

Humber River Birds, Salmon in Toronto
We went to a wedding in Toronto, ON, recently, and had several lovely walks in the autumn colours.
One walk was along the Humber River where there were lots of people watching salmon returning to spawn, cheering when the fish got over a weir, and groaning when they slid back down, to try again. . .
