It was a perfect morning, still air, warm...and my favourite part...friendly people. That part is not always available in Vancouver, but on this day, most everyone insisted on saying good morning and hello.
When I came across the stones that were oh so carefully balanced on the large beach boulders, I decided it was good enough scene to grab a few pics. If I had my cameras with me.
I took the 10 minutes to head back to my apartment to load up on cameras, luckily noticing the missing battery in one before I got too far.
The next lucky thing was that the stone artist, Kent Avery had returned to his beach studio to disassemble the balancing acts. Kent was very friendly and open about his art form and spoke at length in his laid back beach guy style.
Here is part 1 and part 2 of the video I took of our summer morning meeting and chat.
Here are still photos of the walk over to the beach where Kent Avery had his beach stone studio

| Another stone artist created this heart shape in the low tide sand |
 |
| Directly across from the heart of stones was this tree heart....a distinct theme going on in this area |
 |
| Return trip for me...cameras in tow at about 730 am. I think the yellow crew boats carries the ship pilots out to the waiting freighters |
 |
| There's Kent Avery working away on the beach |

And here is a website that features amazing photos of the balanced rocks ( not my photos )
