Port San Juan is an inlet along the Pacific coast of Vancouver Island. It was formed from the San Juan and Leech River faults which flank the northern and southern slopes of the San Juan Valley. The San Juan and Gordon rivers empty into the inlet from the northeast.
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Looks like a peaceful, but moody morning. No better way to start the day than with some fresh air and movement.
Little did we know at the time that this spot would quickly become our favourite place to go, morning noon or night. So scenic when you are down by the water. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Happy Tuesday. Allan
Thanks Leighton. It was our first look at the inlet and it only got better each subsequent day. We had a meal at Bridgeman’s Café on our departure day and there will be a post. Thanks so much for reading and commenting. Allan
Thanks Bernie. We saw this area in several different lighting modes. The flat light of the grey morning did help the colours pop, for sure. Thanks for reading. Allan

Some deliciously moody shots. What a location Bridgeman’s Cafe has, have you ever been in there?

That misty morning made for some great photography. Love the colour of the boats — it kind of pops!
