This is my favourite beach along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. It's a short hike in through a beautiful rainforest, and if you want to camp overnight, you can pitch your tent anywhere on the beach. Just be careful not to get flooded at high tide!

The best viewing for the Perseid meteor shower this year was a couple of weeks earlier than the shower's peak, because of the moon phase. Luckily, this timeframe coincided with the peak of the lesser-known Delta Aquarid meteor shower in late July. I camped out on Mystic Beach along the west coast to get a good view of the show. I saw some quick 'n' bright fireballs, and my camera caught several faint ones. Make a wish! (Or two, if you can find the really faint one!)

My first trip to Sandcut Beach to see the pretty waterfalls along the sandstone cliffs saw a very low flow of water. This is the main waterfall, with a secondary one just visible to the right in this photo. The water flow is much higher in other seasons.

A highlight of my first trip to Hornby Island was seeing the sandstone formations at Ford's Cove. From a distance they didn't look like much, but up close the intricate patterns were endlessly fascinating, so much so that we almost missed the last ferry off the island – which wouldn't have been all that bad!

I took several long exposure shots of the night sky during the peak of the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which happens every year around this time, thanks to the debris from Halley's Comet. Though I didn't see a single meteor with my naked (or bespectacled!) eyes that night, my camera's sensor caught many, often two or three in a single exposure. This one showed the longest meteor trail. Make a wish!
