Springtime in Vancouver

 

Have a wonderful and safe new week!

It felt so good to go on a trip even it was right here in BC not overseas (yet). Happy Blue Mondays.

 

Voyager en CB c'est bien aussi. Ici notre traversier en rencontre un autre dans le secteur qu'on appelle Active Pass.

a new place for me to see, Mount Dorman at the end of the lake and Flett peak to the right

Any evening shot from Stanley Park looking at the skyline of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is one of my favourite places. I spent a lot of time in this area growing up.

Sometimes all the rare colorful ducks just cannot be found - but there's always a seagull around ready to pose for you. .

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 

Rainbow Mountain is a broad glaciated summit forming the northeastern wall of the Callaghan Valley in the Pacific Ranges of British Columbia, Canada. Located in the middle of the Sea to Sky Country, the mountain is just 9 km (5.6 mi) northwest of the resort town of Whistler, and is a popular destination for hiking, snowshoeing and ski touring.

"Nestled between the clear waters of Three Valley Lake and sheer cliffs of the Monashee Mountains, Three Valley Lake Chateau is an extraordinary Revelstoke resort destination". (www.3valley.com/)

 

In 1865 Walter Moberly, government engineer, was searching for a railway route through these rugged Monashee Mountains. He shot at an eagle's nest, and observed the birds fly into a river valley. Following them he discovered this low pass which now carries the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway

Excerpt from Google:

 

Tofino is a small district on Vancouver Island, off Canada's west coast. It sprawls on a peninsula within Clayoquot Sound, characterised by wild natural scenery including lakes, inlets and ancient rainforest. Sandy beaches with year-round surfing facilities include Cox Bay, Chesterman Beach and popular Long Beach, part of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The relaxed town of Tofino sits on the peninsula's tip.

...Go out there and earn your hot chocolate!! Sorry snow haters, no rodeo shots for awhile :)

A bird'd eye view of Oliver showing the agriculture that goes on here. We are looking towards the USA here and the far mountain may be in the States. This is the Southern part of the Canadian Okanagan Valley.

I posted this image a couple of years ago, but thought I'd post it again, as it is so applicable right now. BC is in a state of emergency, with so many wildfires, and tens of thousands of people evacuated. My heart goes out to the many, many people have lost their homes and businesses. Travel has been restricted to anywhere in the Okanagan, which is where everyone goes on vacation in the summertime. Here in North Vancouver, the air is smoky, thick and grey with an orange glow.

I just hope that we get some rain soon, and that the firefighters are able to put the fires out.

Graphic on CTV. As of July 4, 176 wildfires were burning throughout the Canadian province of BC. One town was 90% burned to the ground within minutes.

 

Already BC's fire season is the worst ever! As of July 15, there have been 1100 wildfires as opposed to the 10 year average up to July 15 of 209 wildfires. While the average number of square kilometres burned by this date in 10 years is 600, this year 2030 square kilometres have been burned in BC.

 

While most of these fires were caused by lightning after a severe heat wave, some are still human-caused.

 

To anyone who smokes in areas in wildfire danger zones, please take care not to toss cigarettes on the ground or out of your vehicle. Maybe carry an tin you can put your butts in to throw in the garbage later?

 

Even smoking with your vehicle windows open can cause cigarette embers flying out to start bush fires! Ever follow someone smoking in their car at night? It's amazing to see the embers flying out....

 

Do take care. The town or house that gets destroyed by a carelessly tossed cigarette may be your own, or that of someone you love!

Looking across the channel to Tree Island and Denman Is.

The BC ferries are a vital part of living on Vancouver Island. It's either riding these or catching small seaplanes. During the summer months, they are really quite a treat. The views are breathtaking and you often see Killer Whales and dolphins.

iPhone shot around 9 am. This is taken at Hornby Island at Tribune Bay. Beautiful area. Get there early enough and the beach is yours! It got busy shortly after.

Day one of our two day drive through the mountains from BC to Alberta

the little town of Squamish is named after the first nation ( indigenous ) Squamish Nation....one hour drive north of Vancouver, enroute to the famous Whistler ski resort...just another 1.5 hours further north...

BC Rail Extra 720 South, a MLW 630 Slows to head into the siding at North Dragon to meet #23 BCR 703 North. I am often asked if I photoshopped the black exhaust. No. That is the way Alco and MLW products were, caused mostly by turbo lag.
