"Knee-deep in the wilderness,
my soul strums to an orchestra of nature’s sounds.
And within that rhythm, I absolutely meet pure bliss.”

Haven't made it out in the snow as of yet, been busy keeping my hummingbirds and regular birds happy in the snow and wind. 🐦
Sun rays through the clouds in our area near Vancouver, BC, Canada.
About this photo: I happened to have a look outside a couple of evenings ago and noticed some really neat clouds and sun ays shining through the clouds. The weather had been fairly unsettled that day and created some pretty clouds in the evening. I was glad that I was able to take a few photos from my place in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some information on New Westminster: New Westminster is a city that belongs to the Greater Vancouver area. New Westminster is located about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver along the Fraser River. This beautiful city is also called "The Royal City". The city also reminds people of San Francisco, especially because of the steep hills in town. So be prepared for those hills!
New Westminster was founded by the Royal Engineers under the command of Colonel Richard Clement Moody, and named by Queen Victoria after her favourite neighbourhood in London, Westminster. It is also the oldest city in western Canada and it was the capital of British Columbia between 1858 and 1866.
Located right in the middle of the Greater Vancouver network today, New Westminster is a charming mix of old and new, with a picturesque waterfront and fabulous Victorian architecture. It's a vibrant and progressive city with a community rich in tradition and respect for its heritage.
Come and visit this beautiful city when you are in Vancouver and find out for yourself how charming this city is.

Acres of tulips with masses of colours attract u-pick visitors on Mother's Day. These red roses with saturated backlit petals rimmed by specular highlights created a strong impression.

A view of Rannie Road which leads to Pitt Lake in Pitt Meadows near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: I hadn't been to Pitt Lake in so long, so I packed up my 2 dogs and drove to Pitt Lake in Pitt Meadows near Vancouver, BC, Canada. This area is so beautiful and out here you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere as there is hardly anybody around and hardly any cars around even though you are only about 15 minutes away from a fair size town. On the way there I just had to stop on the side of the road to take a photo of the road that leads to the mountains because I love this view! There was some low hanging clouds as well.
I hope you like this photo?

Some information on the Pitt Lake area: Pitt Lake is located in Grant Narrows Regional Park in Pitt Meadows which is about 45 minutes east of downtown Vancouver. Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, being about 53.5 square km (20.5 square mi) in area. It is about 25km (15.6mi) long and about 4.5km (2.8mi) wide at its widest, and is also one of the world's largest tidal lakes, its confluence with the Fraser being only a few miles upstream from that river's estuary into the Strait of Georgia. Its southern tip, where the Pitt River resumes, is 40km (25mi) east of downtown Vancouver.
The upper Pitt River valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. The over-deepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140m (462ft) below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120m (396ft) to 140m (462ft) above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west this fjord basin became cut off by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River by ca 10,500 years ago and is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
The community of Pitt Meadows occupies the marshy lowland at the southern end of the lake, some of which has become drained and is known as the Pitt Polder. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees. The Upper Pitt, meaning the valley upstream from the lake, is considered BC's best fly-fishing rivers and one of its best steelhead streams.
The lake is popular with boaters and canoeists, but is prone to heavy winds and rains as well as big waves (due to its great depth). The mountain range on its east flank comprises Golden Ears Provincial Park, its basin to the north is in southern Garibaldi Provincial Park, while the mountain range on its west, northeast of Vancouver's Coquitlam Lake watershed reservoir, is Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. The waterfront and foreshore of the lake and river are public-access and include extensive migratory wildfowl habitat. There is a destination golfing resort in the Pitt Polder area called Swan-e-set.
The area along the east side of the lake is somewhat famous for being the reputed location of Slumach's lost gold mine, the location of many failed and sometimes disastrous searches for the alleged murderer's lost gold mine. (Info from Wikipedia)
