From Tree To Stump
The life cycle of a tree in one photo,
found on our hike to the top of Buse Lake Cliffs.

Almost Hoodoo
I went to take pictures of the hoodoos around our town.
There aren’t a lot but there are a lot of wanna-be hoodoos.
Where I went there were only small baby hints of hoodoos.
They did however provide a nice chance for some black and white photography.
Lonely Night
A evening shot of the moon up at Sunpeaks.
It was a smoky day because of all the fires in the province.
Mushroom World
To me this looks like a little world
where you would expect little people
to come walk out from under the mushrooms.
Tree Of Arrows
Here is two photos of a strange type of decorative tree which I drive pass every day.
The bunches berries are nearly black with just a hint of red.
What I like best is the curves and arrow like ends created by the berries.
I posted these in black in white to show the shape and lines.
Old Wooden Fence
Here is a wooden fence running a long a creek that was created for spawning fish at Logan Lake. The lake is filled with rainbow trout and when I was walking around the lake there were a couple of men ice fishing on it.
Logan Lake
Here is a photo taken at logan lake just recently. I thought it looked good in blue.
It makes it look cold, dark and lonely but really I was standing in the parking lot of there little mall.
Maple Leaf
Red maple leafs. Another photo of a Canadian fall. When I was a child, we had a big maple tree in our back yard. It was my favorite tree, not only because we could climb it, but also because of its colorful leaves.
I also remeber pressing the leaves in the Sears catalog. Most of the time we would for get about it. Then at some odd time of the year we would find the catalog with a bright flat dried maple leaf.
Fall Time
There is a time and a season for everything and now it is time for fall. No more hot sunny days, bright colored flowers or children splashing in the water.
Fall brings with it it’s own kind of beauty. As a child it was so easy to miss. Only short dark cold days ahead.
Now that I am older I see that the end of one season only means the begining of another. Past seasons become memories and the currents season an opertunity to enjoy life as it is.
Pine Beetle Tree
This photo was taken leaving my brothers house. Lots of his trees where hit by the pine beetle. Some of the trees are starting to come back but many had to be taken down.
This one was standing out against a colorful fall sunset. It seemed as if it was standing alone on the hill.
Geocach: Falling short.
It was a long 2 hour hike up hill and it felt like it was never going to end. I have been up other hills and cliffs before but this one differently had one of the best views. Here are some of the photos to prove that I live in the most beautiful place in the world.
My co-workers created this Geocache and named it “Falling Short” as they have hiked it many times after work but could never quite reach the view before dark. After we wondered all over the bush, we finally reached it, sat down and took in the view. We lost track of time and did not head back until nearly sunset which made coming down the steep slows difficult. We made it back however despite the fact we nearly lost Duke the dog several times and thought we were being chanced by a moose.
