White Rock BC Photo Restoration Ric Wallace can bring FADED or partially lost PHOTOS back to LIFE
Old, torn and sometimes photos in two or more pieces can be restored to their original state or better. Ric Wallace does a high resolution scan from your original image and electronically uses a computer to do the retouching and corrections. High quality photographic prints can be obtained from the computer file. The computer file can be supplied on CD/ DVD, USB, or downloaded from the internet to ensure exact copies can be made for years to come, with no loss in quality like prints made from negatives which will degrade over time.

Not even the rain can stop Squirrels and People from exercising at White Rock Beach

October 17, 2014 10: 56 am

With lots of rain in store for White Rock, Lucky was going stir crazy not getting out racking up the kms and burning up the calories. Lucky convinced Sugar-toes to enjoy some fresh BC rain and rack up 6 kms. There were many other people doing the same thing on the waterfront.

Going a day without climbing the Oxford Street hill is a great disappointment. So the 2 squirrels headed up the steepest hill at White Rock Beach. With the fallen leaves and wet surfaces everything is super slippery. We made it up the hill without falling very carefully.
