Prior to last week's visit to Vancouver and Whistler, I'd been enjoying the dynamic clouds during my trip to Ohio for the summer. (I posted some sorta' pretty cloud pictures here, here, and here.)

I'm back in Ohio now for another week or so, but the weather has been cold and drizzly, so I'm not getting any of the wonderful cloudscapes we had before. Still, I have plenty of pictures from before the Canada trip. The ones on this post are from a 10-minute walk with the camera down by the lake, one afternoon three weeks ago...

I love [...]

One goes to Whistler (in B.C., Canada) for the nature and outdoor sports like bike riding, but kids just want to play, so we indulged Anthony with some of the kid activities the village offered.

Here, five-year-old Anthony tries a "bungee trampoline" kind of thing. The quality of the photos is horrid, but I want to preserve the memory, so they're here nevertheless.

He then bounced up and down with the operator's help, eventually getting quite high....

I would have loved to have had a tripod to make a longer exposure, to show the movement....

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was really impressed with our room at the Four Seasons Resort in Whistler (British Columbia, Canada). Not only was the room big, with lots of nice features (e.g. private veranda, two bathrooms, etc.), but like the whole hotel, the interior design and decoration is absolutely first class all the way.

Unlike the gaudy, pretentious, highly ostentatious displays in Las Vegas, or what you might expect from, say, Donald Trump, this place was low-key quality through and through. Las Vegas is what you'd end up with if you had unlimited funds, but limited [...]

I'm traveling back to Ohio today, so no time to show all 600 pictures I took yesterday, but here's one. What is it? (Looking at the "full exif & map" link gives a strong clue, so no guessing after having looked.)

The answer is given here.

We're in Whistler (British Columbia, Canada) for a couple of days, and this morning went for a bike ride. We rented bikes at our hotel (the Four Seasons Resort Whistler) and headed out on the easy trails to the nearby "Lost Lake"....

"Lost Lake" seems to be a popular name for lakes. Two years ago in Oregon, we happened upon a different "Lost Lake" during a side trip on a visit to Portland.
