What does a photographer do on vacation?

Vancouverites enjoying sunset at English Bay. Apparently, 63 degrees is considered downright balmy by local standards.

The blog was slow this week. For that, I am sorry.

But not too sorry. Mrs. Myrmecos and I have been enjoying some away time in beautiful Vancouver. I will spare you details, other than to report we spent most of our weekend leisurely sampling the city’s restaurants and have finally arrived home to some needy cats.

A proper photographer’s vacation, of course, involves leaving the heavy camera gear at home. After all, schlepping the office with me wouldn’t be a vacation. Thus, I only carried my iPhone. It was gloriously light and convenient; all the photos in this post were taken with it.

Also, since it was a proper vacation, I will now sit you down and force you to view our vacation photographs.

Indian Arm is a nearby glacial fjord. This is the view from the bow of our tour boat.

The Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park hosted a massive jellyfish exhibit. These are moon jellies.

A pacific white-sided dolphin performs at the aquarium. This is a rescue animal that is unlikely to survive at sea; notice her damaged flippers.

    Glad you got some time away before the baby comes… because relaxing time will be over for the next 20 years once that happens.

    No wonder it’s called English Bay!
