Our Summer Solstice 2019

The Meadows in the Sky 2019

We traveled with friends and visited Mount Revelstoke National Park on this Victoria Day holiday.  The drive was long but we rested along the way.  We hiked up along a beautiful trail system called, the Meadows in the Sky.  As we walked through the forest we saw the lovely blue carpeted wildflowers of the gorgeous bluebells.  An hour later we were hiking higher up into the glorious sub-alpine, with more wildflowers of pinks, reds, yellows and lilac colours.

Duncan and The Cowichan Valley 2019

We left early this morning and visited my wife's friends in Duncan.  During our hike in the mountains overlooking the beautiful Cowichan Valley, we picnicked and sketched wild daffodils along the trails.  The sailing back to the mainland was wonderful with that lovely serene light of sunset.

Happy Easter Sunday 2019!

Happy Spring Everyone 2019!

Wildflowers of Ruckle Provincial Park 2019

We visited friends on Salt Spring Island today and had a lovely time hiking.  At Ruckle Provincial Park, we hiked along the forest trails and many along the seashore.  In the woodland trails the beautiful wildflowers of the snowdrops and wild daffodils can be found and painted.  During the daytime it feels like a cool spring day but around sunset winter can definitely be felt still.

McClymont Park Prince Rupert 2019

We visited some of my wives friends last week up in lovely Prince Rupert.  We walked the beautiful trails at McClymont Park and the winter up there was so mild.  Very little snow around and mostly in the mountains and everyone's so pleased about that.  The brave, small snowdrops are in blossom and without any snow cover, they're easy to be seen and enjoyed.  we flew back and what breathtaking scenery of the coastline and lots of rain and storm clouds especially above Vancouver Island.
