Sharing Memories of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: I have explored this region of BC 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’. […]
sunrise
I took a walk before sunrise recently and saw moonrise. Expansive.
I went out to the grasslands the other day to photograph balsamroot but I was too late. They were past their prime. So instead of returning home that evening, I crawled into the back of my truck to spend the night. What a difference from the rainforest where I had been photographing previously. I could […]
The beginning of another beautiful day
I crawled out of my tent at 4:30 am and and hiked two kms to a spot where I could watch the sunrise and the beginning of another beautiful day in the Cariboo Chilcotin region of British Columbia. This is the spectacular Bridge River Glacier which calves icebergs into a pro-glacial lake. Rita and I […]
Sunrise over the Fraser River
No matter how hard it is to crawl out of my sleeping bag, it always seems to be worth it. I shared this beautiful sunrise with two others who were on my Fraser River photo workshop. Is there a better way to start the day? I doubt it. It sort of sets the tone!
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 […]
The Chilcotin’s Chilanko Marsh
Last weekend my photo companion Mike Duffy and I drove west to explore the Chilanko Marsh. I had never been there before but as you can see it is very different than the Bowron River marsh where we had been the week before. In the image above, first light hits the Coast Mountains in the distance […]
5:15 am and -5 degrees: 5 Canada Geese fly over the Bowron River marsh at dawn
As mentioned in my last post, my friend Mike Duffy and I went to the Bowron River Marsh to photograph. I was shooting for my new Cariboo Chilcotin Coast book and these Cariboo wetlands are one of the most spectacular in the world. Up at 4:15 am, Mike and I paddled out to the marsh […]
