Fire while solo camping at Alice Lake Provincial Park north of Squamish, BC, last night.
It was quiet, very quiet. Enjoyed the peaceful contemplation. . .
My kind of camping, eh?

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.
Black Bear at Nairn Falls Provincial Park, BC
Black bear at the campground at Nairn Falls Provincial Park south of Pemberton, BC, this morning. We’d just finished our breakfast and were packing up our camping gear when Yumi Kosaka spotted it calmly ambling through the woods scarfing berries.
No worries, these were shot a respectable distance away with the equivalent of a 600mm telephoto.
Then a little girl of around six or seven came by on her wee bicycle, saw us watching the bear, and began to drift in the bear’s direction like a moth to a flame.
“Whoa, sweetie, you stay right here.”
Other adults appeared and began passing the word, and as we drove out we spotted the campground attendant and let her know where the bear was, what direction it was moving in, and that it was happily feeding on natural resources.
Berries, Blossoms BC 5A Camping Trip
We took an overnight camping trip to Lac Le Jeune south of Kamloops, BC, last weekend. We enjoyed munching Saskatoon berries at a rest stop at Nicola Lake, and photographing other flora on hiking trails at the lake.

We had fun watching these chipmunks at Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park south of Kamloops, BC.
Heading Up the BC 5A to Lac Le Jeune
We managed to snag a one-night camping reservation at Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park south of Kamloops, BC. We headed up on Sunday, taking the slower 5A from Merritt.
There was some fantastic weather along the way!
Kudos to BC Parks
Kudos to BC Parks and its Discover Camping service. While campgrounds and parks have had to be shut down, I see I am already getting refunds for reservations made back in late February. Thanks!
Camping at Nairn Falls
Zipped up the Sea to Sky yesterday for a one-night camping trip at Nairn Falls Provincial Park.
Realized that we’ve had this trusty axe for 20 years. It’s a midsize, great for car camping, tho occasionally I’d like something with about a pound heavier head and foot longer handle.
