Smoke on the Water Series.
One Mile Lake, Duffy Lake, Birkenhead Lake, Lillooet River, all north of Whistler, BC, over the last few days.
While the smoke from the massive fires down south makes for moody photos, I’ll be happy when it’s gone. . .
Above three photos are Birkenhead Lake, BC
Above two shots are One Mile Lake near Pemberton, BC
Photos shot over the last few days while camping at Nairn Falls Provincial Park
Smoky, foggy, spooky Pemberton Meadows Road the other day. Yes, that’s the sun, mid-morning. . .
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.
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 🙂
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.
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.
Downy Woodpecker on the trail between Nairn Falls Provincial Park and One Mile Lake near Pemberton, BC.
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.
