A brown dirt trail wraps around the clear blue-green / turquoise glacial waters of Middle Joffre Lake. It's a narrow trail flanked by boulders and trees on one side and logs on the left serving to fortify the bank. The trees are vivid green in the foreground and become a muted silhouette on the far side of the water. We will return to hike here this year, it's one of our favorite places on the planet, it has imbedded itself in our souls. #WildernessWeekend #G+Circle #ECK #WestCoastKin #Solitude #Zen

Clarity In A Haze

Joffre Lakes epitomizes inner peace and Zen. The forest unburdens me like no other place. While hiking it, it's the only thing that gets inside my head. #ForestFriday #Scape

White surf slides up the wet sand of Wickaninnish Beach, part of Long Beach on Vancouver Island. The forest lines the back of the frame, obscured by sea mist, and transitioning into a rocky peninsula leading into the ocean. There's blue skies above with the perpetual dancing clouds.

Standing on a trail made of Nature's natural exfoliating material, next to an almost dry creek. A wooden bridge crosses the creek and passes through trees of various vintages: Some, thousands of years old. Just beyond the bridge, conjoined twins, definitely senior citizens. The air is thick and the sun's light barely finds the ground through the lush canopy. This is an August shot, so this is as dry as it gets in here.

A small, but vigorous cascade take an alternate route into a chasm. At the base there's a pool that is one of the mutt's favourites. There's a green sheen to the rock face, wet and doesn't receive much direct sunlight.

The bow of a shipwreck with a broken wooden hull and rusting metal stacks: Laying on a sandy beach. There are dark, blue-grey skies and heavy rain coming it at an angle. It's working up to a squall, a test of the power of Gore-Tex versus nature.

Standing at the edge of a trail looking across at a kaleidoscope of colour under clear, blue skies. The soft greens of the grass and the forest: And the chiselled mountains alive with blue / grey and copper hues, punctuated with patches of bright white snow. The icing on the cake is that the bears haven't crashed our picnic and our devices don't work here! Solitude, peace, heaven …three legs of the same stool.

The orange glow of the sun setting just behind the trees on the left, it reflections glides across lightly ripple water. Everything is almost as still as the black rock sitting in the Ucluelet harbour, just a meter from me. Not completely alone, as two others take in Nature's perfectly executed event.

Looking through the trees to the beginning of an epic series of rapids that cascade down a steep hillside. When it grabs a few trees it transforms into a debris chute: Also spectacular, but if you see it happen, best to back away from the bank. Snapped at 1/8 second to capture the crystal, light-blue water and retain movement'; f /10 as I wanted decent focus through the entire frame.

The stunning remains of this wreck sit on a pebbled beach with a backdrop of rainforests. We're looking past the remnants of the bow, through driving rain into the Hecate Strait, the notoriously rough waters that drove the 264-foot log barge aground during a winter storm in 1928. On this day we were to take a day long zodiac ride to SGang Gwaay UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site: Cancelled due to rough seas. It makes me wonder why I thought this trail was a good idea. I guess I wanted to test my raingear. We came back on the following day to hike in the sunshine, which felt like it was a completely different place. The Pesuta Shipwreck Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails on Haida Gwaii.

Beached!

Reflecting on a different February. Buntzen lake, surrounded by trees, mostly evergreen and mountains. With the low sun, reflections from both cover most of the lake. It is unseasonably warm, as it is this year. This scene, complete with very little snow on the mountains, would happen late March to mid April.
