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

Guilt is No Way to Run a Business
Trying to guilt people is no way to run a business, or any relationship.
I’ve subscribed to a photography list for several years, and over the last year I’ve received at least two, perhaps three messages along the lines of:
“You haven’t clicked on any of the links in my emails. Seems like you really don’t want to hear from me ever again, so ok . . . I won’t send you more emails.. . . ”
I know times are tough and many folks are struggling. But this approach is just, um, I dunno, counterproductive and sad.
And we don’t need more sad these days.
Give me a positive reason to stay on your list, and click on your micro-money-making links. . .
I’m not much of a link-clicker, but if there was an upside to it, rather than a guilt trip to it, I may click now and then. . .
Today I unsubscribed.
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.

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.
Swallow Feeding Frenzy at Porteau Cove
Swallow feeding frenzy at Porteau Cove, BC, today.
Thanks to Yumi for noticing the action, and letting me know when a parent was approaching while I stayed focused on the kids!

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.
