It was a beautiful day for a ride to White Rock and the Pier. White Rock is a seaside community about 40 kms south of Vancouver via hwy 99. For those not familiar with this area, here is a map of where we went

      thank you. When I was busy snapping photos I didn't know how I was going to present it, but then on the radio I heard this song and this was the result.

  2. Wonderful! I love the way you carried us through the song as we toured the seaside boardwalk!

  3. Great post Bob. You had me singing as I was reading.

    The first pic was my favorite.

      I want to hear you sing. I actually sang on one of my videos not long ago. Get that GoProHD working and you can vocalize the audio track. Thank you in advance

      thank you. I got this brainstorm when I was looking at my photos and then the song played on the radio. It was just perfect. You are so lucky to be able to ride all year. We are not so fortunate.

  5. The tune was rockin' in my head as soon as I started to read (but isn't it a bit dangerous to be playin' with the baby on the train track-yikes!)

      I love the late 50's and early 60's music. It reminds us of a better time when things were the best they could be. Those are active rail tracks and trains travel on them daily. There have been lots of accidents so the trains blow their whistles and slow down a bit

  6. Oh yeah. I was grooving to the beat. Just like watching MoTown and Smokey Robinson right now.

    I still cringed with the lady laying in the tracks. I could see they are active tracks...argh...scary.

      that's my kind of music too. Mo-town and also the British Invasion, Oh . . . and the girl groups. That Lady was very artistic to think of different perspectives. Perhaps that was her new camera ?

  7. How do I get this song unstuck now. Lovely pictures as usual. I can't get enough from this place.

      luckily you got rescued and a meal too. It was such a nice day we had to go to White Rock. Because it is hard to find parking during times of good weather we just pass through, but today we snagged a spot "on the hill" nearly opposite Charlie-don't-surf.

  8. It's been a long time since I was on that boardwalk in White Rock. Good memories. Thanks.

      perhaps it's time for a Wet Coast vacation. Not too busy yet, but as soon as it gets a bit warmer it gets very crowded. Hard to relax when the meter is ticking, and Parking Enforement is very persistant.

  9. Wonderful photo series. Love it! I really like the texture, look and feel in the first two. Very appealing. I also really like the 3rd with the photographer on the RR track with baby. That she's wearing a zebra? stripe dress adds a delightful surprise to the image.

    lol - and now I have that song stuck in my head!

      Recently I dug out my dusty dSLR and looking through the viewfinder makes you feel more like a photographer. I had no idea at the time that I would be doing that sequence. I was just snapping away (In photo lingo = taking some images) and I look at them when I get home to decide how to assemble them into a post. Then on the way home I heard that song . . .

      I didn't believe my eyes when I saw that lady lying on the tracks, but when I noticed the camera I knew she was shooting "out of the box" and it was a great idea, and an unusual angle so I snapped a few of her.
