Tuesdsy at Royston rex

 today after we all finished our dug out 9-5 jobs and had dinner, we decided to head down to Royston rex. Elizabeth decided to stay home because she had to do stuff for school that is out in a couple days.  It was just the 4!of us adults tonight so we went to Royston Rex. when we were at Royston Rex we all saw such a beautiful sunset and while we were looking at the sunset we were watching birds. there was six herons sitting on top of the posts in the racks and there’s so many different other breeds of birds they were so cool. Bryin managed to get some really cool cool pics of the birds in their nests and nesting. it is also a nesting spot with loads of  nest so they can track them all.  Calia spend some time on one of the posts in the water watching the barnacles feed. It was such a cool thing to see .  Geoff stood up on his paddleboard tonight, as the ocean was really calm.  He got really close to some nests and watch the seals fallowing him. We had a really good paddle after Dwain thought, he forgot his paddle and sent Bryin all the way home to get it when it was just in his boat  hiding. nobody took on water tonight all in all two hour paddle was epic agon with our cell phone pics

A Sunday stroll with my queers art collective

 July 6th, 2025 — A Day Painted in People, Color, and Light By Olivia – The Hikers Photography This morning started off in a way I didn’t quite expect—but exactly how I needed. I woke up a little later than usual, letting myself lean into the rest my body was clearly asking for. As I brewed my first cup of coffee, the sky outside was grey and heavy with cloud. It looked like it might be one of those moody West Coast days, but there was a calmness to it that I welcomed. Still, something shifted. Maybe it was the caffeine kicking in, or maybe it was the quiet excitement of knowing I’d be wearing my  brand-new shirt —embroidered with  The Hikers Photography  logo. That one small thing gave me a real lift, a sense of purpose and pride that today might just be something special. I headed into town with  French toast on my mind , gathering eggs, milk, cinnamon—everything needed to make the perfect batch for the  Queer Coffee Morning  at the centre. And while...

See what my lens and language uncovered over this one beautiful August long weekend on the coast.

By Olivia — August 1st–4th, 2025 The long weekend arrived like a shimmering wave, thick with heat and humming with possibility. August had barely begun, and already the air felt golden and stretched — a warm invitation to lean in, slow down, and fall in love with everything again. I wrapped up work early Friday with the kind of to-do list that feels aggressively unromantic: chores, yardwork, glue. The kayak needed sealing, the garden needed tending, and the camera — believe it or not — stayed sleeping in its bag. No photos. No spark. Yet. But the evening held a soft reprieve: dancing downtown with the youngest. Music, motion, messy joy. I even got some editing done amidst the giggles and feet tapping. Not a bad trade. Saturday: Maps, Cameras & a Paddle to Little Mexico By 9 AM Saturday, I’d scooped up Elizabeth and we were off — crafting a handmade birthday card for sweet Carson, turning Marge podge and shells into love. Afterward, the marina called to me like a lighthouse for the ...

July 5th night paddle

Image
  Today was a shorter day than usual, but it ended up being quite eventful. We decided to give Elizabeth a bath, and Calia stayed home with her for an early bedtime since she is still just 11 years old. Meanwhile, Bryin, Dwain, and Geoff headed to the Royston for a panel. The weather was incredibly hot, and it only seemed to be getting hotter as the evening went on. We took our paddles and set out on the water, making our way to the Rex and around the area. The paddle was refreshing, and we even spotted a seal and its companion basking on a rock near the estuary, with a stunning sunset in the background. As we paddled back, we pushed hard and created a nice breeze that cooled us down. In total, we paddled 4.36 km in just 51 minutes. It was a thrilling experience to watch the strokes of our paddles hitting the water, creating ripples in the calm sea. Despite the tide being up, the water wasn't as deep as we expected, allowing us to see the bottom clearly. Overall, it was a fun and i...
