Warm summer temperatures are here early this year making it time to head for the lakes. There are 1,000’s of lakes to take advantage of here in the Cariboo Chilcotin region of BC, so get the boat, canoe, or kayak out and have some fun with family and friends. One of my favourite pastimes is […]

Go Confidently…
” Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” Henry David Thoreau Made at daybreak, Teresa heads out toward the mountains….confidently. The Turner Lakes in South Tweedsmuir Park. My Final Major Book! In celebration of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region of BC, its ancient rainforests, canyon-grasslands, Chilcotin […]
Canoe Trip ends with a Splash! June 7, 2014
When I am out exploring and photographing, I search for beauty in the landscape first, wildlife second; not the other way round. So as I paddled up Little Bridge Creek, I was taken by surprise when I looked over the bow of my canoe and saw a beaver swimming into view. As you can see, […]
Canoe Trip in 100 Mile House! Part III. June 6, 2014
As I continue to paddle up Little Bridge Creek I am drawn by the contrast of early spring colours. On both sides of me the willows are leafless, allowing me to see bird and wasp nests from the previous year. The ochre, yellow and brown hues lead me peacefully toward the bright budding and energetic […]
Canoe Trip in 100 Mile House! Part II. June 5, 2014
Continuing on our paddle up Little Bridge Creek, I saw signs of hard work by those who worked on the 100 Mile Ranch. I am assuming these posts had to do with keeping the cattle from going too close to the creek for water. I was told they used to have a long cable connected […]
Canoe Trip in 100 Mile House! Part I. June 4, 2014
Yes, you heard it right…a canoe trip in 100 Mile House! With permission, I took my Chestnut cedar-canvas canoe and paddled up Little Bridge Creek toward Exeter Lake. I made the trip in May and found it to be a beautiful wetland with beaver swimming by my canoe and birds nesting along the shore. Besides […]
Sunrise over Junker Lake in the West Chilcotin
Exactly this time last year, I stood on the shores of Junker Lake and made this image. It was 5 am when the light began to illuminate Junker Lake, one of the Turner Lakes in South Tweedsmuir Park. Our party of four was the only group of paddlers in the entire park. The Cariboo Chilcotin […]
Exploring Chilanko Marsh – Exciting!
The Chilanko marsh offered a totally different experience to the Bowron River marsh. As you can see above, there were dozens of exciting channels to explore. The soundscape was beyond any marsh I have been in; like being at the symphony!
Heading out on a 4 day photo shoot: the Bowron River Marsh
At the crack of dawn tomorrow morning I head off with my beautiful red Chestnut cedar-canvas canoe to one of my favourite spots to photograph…the Bowron River marsh within Bowron Lake Park. At this time of the year the water will be high allowing me to paddle easily throughout the wetlands. With any luck I […]
