'Botanical Arch' - Vancouver Island - a photo on Flickriver

'Botanical Arch' - Vancouver Island

            During Amandas very first visit to Vancouver Island, I took her to one of my favourite forests on the West Coast.

After a fun day of watching otters on the beach and saying hello to a bear who was happily munching on grass, we decided to head home.

I stopped at this spot on the trail just to play around with this composition but I wasn't very optimistic about getting any good ight.

After about 20 minutes of waiting I decided to quit and was packing up my gear when Amanda said ''wait, I can see some mist rolling in''.

I quickly pulled my camera back out of the bag, placed it on the tripod and held my breath.

Within about a minute, the ocean spray drifted in and caught the late afternoon sun in a magical display of light rays.

That golden light on the underside of that twirling branch was the icing on the cake.

This all happened in just a few minutes and I was shooting with shaking hands while wearing a manic grin on my face.

Amanda says that's when she fell in love with me. Because she'd finally found someone as crazy as she was.

Thanks for looking
