Greetings, I have made a number of blogs over the years and have contributed to a group one as well.  It occurred to me that I should have a listing of those online albums somewhere so why not on a blog itself?  Below is the ever growing list with an online address for each blog including a brief description.

  These are the images of the critters at my former workplace in Port Moody.   I spent 23 years as the terminal electrician and during those years I took photos of wildlife on my morning routines.  Click on the address above this photo to see this blog.




I made this blog to highlight my years with the Hyde Creek Watershed Society with posts starting in 2008.  Although showcasing their popular Salmon Festivals and Open Houses, it does show many activities of the society over the past 12 years.   Click on the address above this photo to see this blog.




 
  Images of my time sailing and racing Multihulls. Some of the most thrilling times I ever had were crewing on these catamarans and trimarans. As well, some of the most calming and relaxing times were when waking up on a sunny morning at anchor in some small bay in the Gulf Islands.   Click on the address above this photo to see this blog.

 Remembering Expo 86 was a world class Worlds fair!   I made this blog to contrast the blogs I made for the 2010 Olympics.  They were so different but awesome in their own way.  Who said nothing exciting ever happens in Vancouver?   I Love this city.   Click on the address above this photo to see this blog. 




 The Christmas Light Display that surrounds Coquitlam's Town Center Park Lafarge Lake is fantastic.  Coquitlam celebrated its 125th birthday in 2016 and Canada will be 150 years old in 2017.   Click on the address above this photo to see this blog.




The 2019 Lights at Lafarge Lake display was particularly striking with a covering of snow.   Click on the address above this photo to see this blog.
