On the way back from camping at Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park in BC we stopped at this memorial to British airmen who died on a B-24 training flight in 1945. So young. . .
Some good videos on this website.
On our way home from a camping trip we stopped at the Silverdale Wetlands to stretch our legs and take some photos. It was hot!
While we were camping at Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park we saw this massive gathering of Asian Lady Beetles on the shore of the lake.

Smoke on the Water Series.
One Mile Lake, Duffy Lake, Birkenhead Lake, Lillooet River, all north of Whistler, BC, over the last few days.

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