I went on a field trip to the grasslands yesterday and that shiny, bright Easter yellow flower, the sagebrush buttercup, appeared to be the first flower to colour the landscape. Just like the meadowlark and the bluebird, I always look forward to seeing it. All parts of the buttercup are mildly poisonous when fresh. Before […]

Beauty in the Mysterious
“The Most Beautiful Thing we can Experience is the Mysterious; it is the Source of all true Art and Science”. Albert Einstein With First Peoples art in mind, I made this image along the BC central Coast, not far from Bella Coola. My Final Major Book! In celebration of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region of […]
Wild Horses of the Nemaiah
Sharing Memories of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: I have explored by foot, canoe, vehicle, skies, raft, snowmobile, horse, and by airplane, and I have photographed every experience. All together they have given me a ‘sense of place’. I feel most fortunate to live and have access to this ‘place’. The images I share with you […]
Wild Horses of the Nemaiah Showing Their Wildness
Sometimes we saw these horses in burnt forest like in the previous post, but often we saw them in the open meadow lands where they were easy to spot. To see then running was a bonus. They just seemed so wild and free. There is estimated to be close to 1000 free-roaming horses in the […]

While the burnt landscape in its entirety is not pretty, I found the contrast of the dark horses amongst the burnt trees in winter to be stunningly beautiful. One would hardly see these horses in a […]

A count of these wild animals was being made by the Friends of the Nemaiah Valley. The horses you see in this image were made as we […]

Xatsull Village with forest fire sky
Last week I visited Xatsull Village (I’m embarrassed to say) for the very first time. I asked permission to just crash there for the night in my truck so I could photograph through the night. There happened to be smoke in the evening sky; smoke that came from Siberia! This was the image I made […]
