Some fresh off the press images for a future show.  I think most of these images are on theartprojectonline.com site but will be on the new site for sure.  The new site will be coming your way in the new year.

fall classic medal...pretty

Decided to head down to UBC for the Fall Classic for the second year in a row.  Was a pretty cool and crappy morning but still had a pretty good runner turn out.  Same route as last year but it seemed a little skinny on water stations.  Did the walk up sign up for 80 bucks for the 8:30 start.  Finished up with a 1:29.04 chipped time.  Kinda happy with it, since there was a decent wind in some sections.  One more run, and then I’ll be finished for the 2009 running season.

These pix are from Thursday Morning.  Some sun wanted to peak through.  Hasn’t been much sun lately, so when it comes I try and get the camera ready.

Train down at the deltaport

More rainbows

More birds

Bombed over to Horseshoe Bay for some Monday morning fun.  Left Abbotsford were it was dry and not so windy, and traded it in for a scenic storm on the water.  We where working right of the ocean and could see a few ferries rolling out into the cloud.  Pretty cool little cove with one of the coolest views I’ve see in a while.   Shots are right off their backyard in West Vancouver.

When we first got there the tide was out, then it rolled in pretty quick to get some smashin waves

Had a weekend that didn’t have me booked up so I decided to kick myself into gear.  I needed to get a long run in (for Vegas) and also wanted to get a solid start on riding the old bike.  I picked a hell of a Saturday to do it, with hail and some good down pour sessions.  Some people might have heard me dropping f-bombs in the early afternoon after riding into a few hail storms.  All in all was a nice long day of training and felt pretty good.

I have been getting pretty board of the usual training routes and sessions, so I thought I would get a little more creative.  I headed to the pool  out in Walnut Grove for an 8:30 start , did a 40 minute swim.  Drove out to 232nd and the number 1 hwy and left my truck there.  Suited up for a 31km run back to my house.  Once I got to my house I hucked some food and water in me and headed out on a 32 k bike ride.  The whole thing took almost 5 hours but was a nice little saturday.  Oh and the sun came out right when I hoped off my bike.  Awesome….

On the way home just after jumping into the truck. Never found the gold.

The Finish to the day. Sun rolling in.

Clouds moving out

Here are some shots from last  weekend.  Headed over to the island last week and found some good spots.  Pretty happy with a few shots, enjoy.
