Steve recorded this footage from his lakefront home in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. With the nearby forests on fire, the water bombers were continually making passes in front of his home to fight the nearby fires. After a while Steve noticed a boater getting dangerously close to the flight/pickup path for the bombers and continued to record in case of an incident. The boater, as you will see, definitely was not thinking clearly as to his safety and the safety of his passengers, never mind the safety of the skilled pilots working tirelessly to fight the blazes. There were more than 2,500 residents evacuated locally as the fires came dangerously close to residential neighborhoods. Thankfully there was no incident on the water this day, and the fires were extinguished after a number of days. Thanks to all the hardworking firefighters in the air and on the ground, they conquered yet another bad round of forest fires in Kelowna.

when recently vacationing in Puerto Vallarta Mexico and walking along the beach, the cameraman noticed this very happy looking Bulldog. Every time her owner tossed the rock, Lucy would run over to it and start digging on each side of the rock. She would do this continually until getting tired. This had been going on for at least 10 minutes prior to this footage ,so Lucy definitely seems to enjoy the rock game. While talking with her owner, i was also noted that Lucy also surfs with her owner. Now that would have been great to see. If you love doggies and enjoyed this short video, please share it along. Thank you .

Drake the dog has some great big flappy ears. When out on a beautiful boat ride around Lake Okanagan in Kelowna, British Columbia, it was hard not to get a chuckle from watching him. Drake moved about the boat but his ears always seemed to grab the wind and fly horizontal. His buddy Chewy decided the fun was just relaxing and taking in the sights and smells of the open water. What a great day and fun times with the dogs and friends!

Kat and her dog Molson got quite artistic synchronizing their taps on the solar deck lights to the song Hot Diggity Dog. Everyone around enjoying the evening got quite a laugh out of it all. A great time was had by all watching the artistic creation by Kat and Molson. If you enjoy the video, please share it with friends . Thank you .

Dog buddies Drake and Molson love to play at the lake. Watch as they chase a stick with a GoPro attached to the end of it. The result makes for such cool footage!

Recently while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta,Mexico, the cameraman caught some incredible footage of a tropical lightning storm. July is the beginning of the rainy season in Puerto Vallarta ,meaning it becomes very hot and humid which created a daily thunder and lightning storm which like clock work began around 4 in the afternoon. Lightning is very entrancing and always made for a gathering on the beach to watch the storm. Enjoy this video and please share with those you know that also enjoy the sight of the powers in the skies.

Recently during the Birch Bay , Washington sand castle competition, there was a small out door market as well. There were some great craft displays, live music,and a few food vendors. Amongst one of the most interesting vendors, was this "power it yourself" smoothie kiosk. As you can see in the video, some get quite a kick out of blending their own smoothie, even if it takes a bit of exercise. What parent wouldn't want one of these at home, it sure would help out on the power bill !!

Such a spectacular view! Kevin soars above these breathtaking mountains of British Columbia in a glider, amazing! This is definitely a million dollar view, you don't get the chance to see this every day. Lucky for us, we are able to see this spectacular view through an eagle eye view! At the start of Kevin's flight, he climbs to 6000', turning as he does this. While he turns, we can see the beautiful view below, it is incredible. Kevin reaches 8000' feet to level off and enjoys both the ride and view. He enjoys three hours up in the air, before having to head back home. With this view, the time probably went by so fast! Landing is always the most critical and tricky part of the flight, but Kevin is a pro as he has been flying for over two years now, awesome! What a great adventure this was! Kevin is very lucky he gets this opportunity. If only we were all trained pilots, then we could see a view like this with our own eyes. At least we have Kevin's point of view, so beautiful!

Back in the summer of 2014, the city of Kelowna British Columbia was experiencing the third worst forest fires in history. More than 2500 residents had to be evacuated as the fires grew to a dangerous level. Kelowna in nestled amongst the Columbia Mountain range which is part of the Rocky Mountains in the southern interior of British Columbia ,Canada. Steve the videographer here has a home on the waterfront of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna so he had a front row seat to the activity of the highly skilled water bomber pilots battling the raging ,near out of control, fires nearby. Steve noticed a boater getting dangerously close to the path that the bombers were using to pick up approximately 800 gallons of water in order to get back to the fires and make a water drop. Steve continued to record in the event an incident between the boater and aircraft occurred. Thankfully there was no incident and all the firefighters on the ground and the air were able to extinguish the forest fires after a number of days. As Steve said" don't be a bag of hammers" be smart while on the water!!

While Brent and Elsa were out for a day trip to Whistler British Columbia, they stopped in the town of Brackendale for a walk along the river. A beautiful place which offers a huge number of Bald eagles to watch during the winter, it is also very beautiful during the summer. While walking along the river, Elsa happened to spot some bluebell flowers and figured she would show Brent something she use to do with them as a kid. Impressed with her "skill and talent" he wasn't aware at first of her plan , but went along being a good sport. A fun day sightseeing in their own area of home.

With the heat we have been having here in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, after a tough day in the yard running and playing , Poncho decided it was time to relax. Being Sunday evening and the night before a tough work week begins, she decided it was time to chill . Jumping into a very comfortable deck chair, she was unable to overcome the POWER OF RELAXATION.....

Poncho is a rescue dog from Playa Del Carmen Mexico. She has always been a little skittish, but when it comes to baths and in this case, nail clipping, she is the perfect dog. Although appearing a little nervous, she has always been great when this job has to be done, calm and always helpful. Of course, getting a treat when completed does help, along with always talking to her . She does get a lot of exercise, but her nails grow quite quickly, meaning clip clip is a regular duty of her owner Brent. Don't you all wish your pooch was this well behaved at pedicure time??

Poncho is Brent's rescue dog from Riviera Maya Mexico which he has had for more than 10 years. Poncho along with being quite skittish, is a very affectionate dog. When the weather allows it, Poncho gets to spend the complete day outside while her humans are at work. Who knows what she gets up to, but its known she doesn't lay around all day. The hole under the deck is witness to her playful side. Of course as soon as Brent gets home from work, the most important thing is to let his best friend inside to say hi. As you will see in the video, Poncho has a great amount of love for Brent and vice versa. She is an incredible pet .

While attending the E30 picnic which is organized by Lance Richert, Brent and Elsa and Brent's son Ryan all got a chance to enjoy a ride in a 1926 Model T Ford. The picnic was hosted on the Lemay Family Collection grounds near Tacoma Washington. The collection of many rare and antique cars is quite astounding, and the ride in this beautiful Ford made the day for Brent ,Elsa and Ryan. Ryan was granted the front passenger seat ,as all kids do, throw their folks in the back ;-). Ryan did a great job asking questions about the classic car, as he himself is a 1990's BMW e30 Series car guru, it is Ryan's passion. The driver, and mechanic which maintains the collection's Model T's, was amazing with his knowledge of the vehicle and said he has been driving them since he was 15. He also informed everyone he made a 1500 mile journey in the old Ford, and it was quite enjoyable "nothing happened very fast ,which made it a pleasant trip" .

Cameraman Rodney lives outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Vancouver B.C. Off the highway he takes a short drive into the woods via a gravel road to his home and often sees a variety of wildlife. This day the prize was a beautiful black bear which are quite plentiful in this area and being summer is coming near, they are out searching for plenty of food. This guy wandered almost unaware he was making Rodney's day after a tiring work day!

All dog owners know the moment when someone is at the door before they are even there. That's because your dog is already at the door waiting to greet them. They're probably barking their heads off, running all over the house, and the air just fills with excitement. Getting them to calm down is a bit of a different story. Here we have a typical encounter at the door getting extremely affectionate. How adorable is this moment? Watch what happens when this grandma opens the door. Augie the Bernese Mountain Dog spreads his whole self across the floor, eagerly waiting for his belly rubs with a doggy smile so big and genuine, you are sure that this is his favorite person, next to his human, Chantelle! For this dog, when grandma comes to visit, it becomes a huge event, how adorable is that? Has your dog ever done anything like this for a special someone?

While scuba diving and exploring the area of Tuwanek on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, just a short ferry ride from Vancouver, Brent found something very interesting. Along with such a beautiful location and one of the top diving locations in the area there are art pieces called Tree Spirits which occur randomly in the area. This 3 piece artwork he found right on the property of the cabin Brent and some friends rented for the weekend while scuba diving in the area. Following is some information about the Tree Spirits. It would be great to explore and locate some others in the area. "LEGEND OF WOOD SPIRITS There are wood spirit legends in almost every culture as far back as history goes, focusing on Native American, African. It's being told that wood carvers from these cultures looked for a face, animal, or other character that they saw imbedded in the grain of the wood, then worked to "release" it. Many different cultures throughout history have believed that "Spirits" inhabit the trees of the forest. Some believed that Spirits were living within the tree from its beginning, others believed the spirits of passed ancestors returned to the earth and existed in one of its many forms. The legend of the wood spirits marked with an effigy, carving or containing naturally appearing images of spirits, are considered very good luck."

Feeling under the weather with a sore throat and sinus congestion, Elsa is scrambling to get well for an upcoming weekend of scuba diving. After taking some well known medications that do not seem to be working fast enough, her husband suggests something he knows will work. Not being much of a believer in his suggestions most times, this one time she trusts his judgement. We are not sure she will trust him in the future.... Watch and see what you think .

WARNING DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME Brent the cameraman and machinist uses liquid nitrogen quite often in his line of work. He uses it for shrinking parts to enable them to be pressed into other pieces of equipment much easier than using a hydraulic press or heavy hammers. Liquid nitrogen can be a very dangerous liquid if not respected. The temperature of liquid nitrogen can readily be reduced to its freezing point of −346 °F by placing it in a vacuum chamber pumped by a vacuum pump. Liquid nitrogen's efficiency as a coolant is limited by the fact that it boils immediately on contact with a warmer object, enveloping the object in insulating nitrogen gas. This effect, known as the Leidenfrost effect, applies to any liquid in contact with an object significantly hotter than its boiling point. This Leidenfrost effect also is the reason the super cooled liquid does not burn Brent's skin on contact.

Adam received this drone as a gift from his father but had no previous training . He did have rc cars so he does have the concept of operating an rc aircraft with the controller. As anyone knows, these type of aircraft take incredible hand eye co-ordination. After a few flights and some crashes, Adam is slowly getting the skill down and making some great maneuvers. Here is some short footage of what can happen with a negative result, as well as a positive result with a great landing. Well done Adam, keep up the training .

Camping is a great past time for many as we know. Along with the fun of getting out in the wilderness and away from the daily chores at home, camping also involves some fun activities that rarely occur while home. One that Brent and Elsa enjoy is a campfire, which also involves making campfire foods, one being S'MORES. These can be tough to perfect, and having the perfect fire, great mallows, and the perfect cookies are key ingredients. Elsa prefers the chocolate coated graham wafers, and well Brent, he will eat anything specially if it has chocolate involved. So once Brent got the fire just right he began toasting the marshmallow and when he felt it was just right, he signalled Elsa to get her chocolate coated wafers ready and he placed the ooey gooey marshmallow in place on the cookies. As you will see, it must have been good as Elsa seemed to enjoy the great blend of campfire favour flavours.

While attending a fundraiser at the Maritime Museum in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver B.C Canada, Brent the cameraman spotted these beached sailboats while walking around the park area at the museum. Recalling the huge windstorm that hit the city May 23,2017 Brent scrambled down the giants rocks to get a closer look at the wrecks. Following are quotes and information about the storm that rocked the Lower Mainland. "The problem arises when some owners simply walk away from an old derelict boat that’s been destroyed. Kitsilano residents say has been a growing problem for years, claiming every time there’s a windstorm multiple boats wash ashore and create pollution. “There doesn’t seem to be a plan on how we get rid of these boats,” says Jeff Whitehead, a supervisor from the Vancouver Park Board who is ultimately responsible for the cleanup which can cost north of $7,000 dollars. Winds gusting between 40 and 50 miles an hour pushed sailboats onto the shore at Sunset Beach in English Bay, and also took out a navigational buoy off-shore. Brent said it was amazing seeing this being he has lived locally his whole life, but has never seen this up close. Everyone is hoping that this issue of the damaged and abandoned boats is cleaned up soon as summer is coming . Summer brings a great amount of tourism and beach visits for locals .

Rodney the cameraman was on his way home after work, and being that he lives off the beaten path in Greater Vancouver BC, he notices this beaver walking along the gravel road. Slowing down to take a look to make sure the little guy wasn't injured, he gets some great footage of an adorable creature. Seeing that the little guy appears to be healthy, both Rodney and the beaver continued on their way, Rodney to his house, and the beaver to his dam. After a long, hard day's work, we can all relate to this little busy beaver. You can just imagine how tired this beaver is. You can be sure that as soon as it gets home that it will find the perfect spot to lay down and instantly fall asleep. We all have those days. The moment you kick off your shoes after a long day of work can also result in an instant slumber. Have you ever had an interesting encounter with a wild animal?

While visiting Manning Park approximately 3 hours East of Vancouver British Columbia, Elsa saw many ground squirrels running around the field and wanted to see how tame they were. So after watching them for awhile while Elsa and her husband enjoyed lunch in the park, She wanted to see if she was able to get up close with one of the cute little guys by offering a carrot. Not only was Elsa able to get up close, she was able to hand feed a fairly tame little guy that was extremely cute in the way he hopped on his hind legs to make his final approach for the carrot. Brent and Elsa enjoyed the park and watching all the ground squirrels running around having a great time with local visitors. I would say the grand squirrels as well enjoyed Brent and Elsa's visit.

While vacationing on Grand Cayman Island, Brent the cameraman and his wife were snorkelling at Rum Point. Along with many beautiful types of tropical fish, there were also Stingrays . The Southern Stingrays were very curious creatures. They would swim directly at the snorkelers then turn away at the last second, which at first was a bit startling. The Stingrays being approximately 3 feet across and 4-5 feet long including tail were incredible to see and experience their grace . An incredible experience at Rum Point .
