Best of February - Shoal Point at Dawn (February 2013)

Sunrise and sunset are great times for photographers. Unfortunately they also tend to be cold times so I miss out on a lot of good photos. However, occasionally I do get out early and am almost always rewarded by photos such as the one above. This was taken looking towards Shoal Point from the Songhees Walkway below Rainbow Park.

Best of February - Olympic Mountains (February 2012)

Victoria doesn't have mountains looming right over the city like Vancouver does but the Olympic Mountains across the strait do provide a dramatic backdrop when the air is clear. Here they look a little larger than we see them with the naked eye because of the photo was taken using a telephoto lens.

Best of February - Fleming Beach Breakwater (February 2012)

I know this photo has been taken a thousand times by a thousand different photographers but this is my version and it remains one of my all-time favorites. It's a young couple walking on the breakwater at Fleming Beach at sunset.

Best of February - Songhees Walkway (February 2011)

While February usually brings some crocuses and daffodils, it remains a winter month with brisk winds and lots of rain. However, it also provides dramatic lighting and clear air such as seen in this photo of the city from the Songhees Walkway near Rainbow Park.

Best of February - Snow (February 2011)

While spring is right around the corner in February, Victoria often gets snow in that month as seen in this archival photo taken from my front window in February 2011.
