Smoky, foggy, spooky Pemberton Meadows Road the other day. Yes, that’s the sun, mid-morning. . .

White Rock Smoke on the Water
I cut short a photo ramble down to White Rock, BC, as the smoke was giving me a sore throat and headache. I can’t imagine what it’s like for people on the US coast.
Camping, Canoeing at Lightning Lake, Manning Park, BC
We had the canoe out to Lightning Lake in Manning Park in southern BC. First time we’d taken the canoe out there in a few years and it was gorgeous. We had an afternoon/evening paddle, and a morning paddle. Lots of fish jumping and wildlife.
Koji-marinated chicken skewers, yaki udon, and coals-baked potatoes and corn on the cob. Yum!
Common Loons
Yumi spotted three grouse on the shore and we drifted right up to them in the canoe
Great Blue Heron
Spotted Sandpiper
This dragonfly kept following us in our canoe. It seemed to have a crush on Yumi 🙂
Camping at Nairn Falls Provincial Park
We had a lovely overnight camping trip to Nairn Falls Provincial Park near Pemberton, BC.

A wee creek off the Paradise Valley Road near Squamish, BC, today.
Kestrel, Deer, Snake on Pemberton Meadows Road
After camping at Nairn Falls we drove the Pemberton Valley Road as far as the bridge to Lillooet Forest Road. Saw some deer, three kestrels, and a dead garter snake.

Dragonflies, Grasshoppers at One Mile Lake
While we were camping at Nairn Falls we did the trail to One Mile Lake, around the lake, and back to the campground. Saw several dragonflies and grasshoppers.
Fraser Foreshore Walk
We had a ramble this morning at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, walking from Byrne Road east out to the meadow and around and back.
A few sights along the way:
This chopper kept circling across the river in Richmond — likely related to the big fire yesterday.
Lots of snowberries around.
This stone has more cup holders than a minivan. . . It even has a cup. Sigh…
