I love reflection and this is one of my archive picture taken at Capilano Lake in 2011.
Wish you a great Friday and weekend!
The following is the original story posted.
One time my photo club friend talked to me about reflection.
Reflection is always the favorite of photographers. However not every one of reflection is photogenic.
Surprisingly he said the most beautiful and photogenic reflection is not those appear like a crystal clear mirror image. Some distortions and blurry blending with good colors are better ones, he said. What counted as the best is always subjective though.
Will this be a good reflection I found on the day I shot Capilano Lake?
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
This is the close up shot of the Capilano Lake reflection with Lions in background.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
More from the beautiful tulip fields at Lakeland Flowers in Abbotsford near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: With the beautiful spring weather we've been having this last week, I had to go check out to the tulip fields. I went with a couple of my friends and we choose to visit the Abbotsford Tulip Festival near Vancouver, BC, Canada. There is one in Chilliwack and Harrison as well. We decided to go back to the one in Abbotsford operated by Lakeland Flowers which we visited a few times in the past as they have such beautiful tulip fields with so many gorgeous varieties and amazing colours! 🌷🌷🌷
There's 28 acres to enjoy 5 million tulips and about 100 different varieties.
I took this photo during our trip with some pretty rows of tulips and the mountains in the distance. I must say there is something about tulip fields and mountains which you don't see in the Netherlands.

Some information about Lakeland Flowers:
Peter Warmerdam was born in 1927 in Sassenheim Netherlands. At the time, it was the home of the largest tulip bulb producing area in the world. In 1949, Peter arrived in Canada and worked at whatever jobs were available. His first job was working on a farm in Winnipeg. He moved to the West Coast in the early 1950’s spending some time in logging and eventually working full time in farming.
In 1974, Peter and his family purchased land in the Sumas Prairie Flats in Abbotsford where the farm currently stands. Peter chose the Sumas area because the sandy soil made harvesting bulbs easier and the steady winds kept foliar diseases at bay. The ownership in the business eventually transferred to his sons and he became fully retired from working on the farm at 87 years of age.
In its 47 years in Abbotsford, the farm has expanded from a small operation to a company of nearly 100 employees. Today, Peter’s son Nick owns and operates Lakeland Flowers which continues to grow millions of beautiful daffodils, tulips, peonies, and sunflowers each year.
The land they now farm once used to be known as Sumas Lake. From the Glacial Age, it sat in a basin cocooned between the Sumas and Vedder mountains. The 10 000 acre lake would triple in size each spring from water rushing in from the Chilliwack and Vedder River that fed into it. This would ruin crops and make transportation between Chilliwack and cities to the west impossible.
By the 1920’s, engineers drained the lake through the Sumas Lake Canal and into the Fraser River, effectively turning the lake into farmland. The soils from the lakebed are sandy to silty in composition and quite fertile, creating the area into an agricultural hub of the Fraser Valley.

The highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954 metres, Mount Robson stands 3 km above the valley floor. Sometimes it is cloud free and a full view of the summit is visible. On this day the summit was not visible but I liked the dramatic lighting with the sun peeking through to illuminate, brightly, the yellow leaves at the base and the glaciers close to the summit while clouds create a dark shadow on the mountain itself. Snow and ice reveal the patterns and lines of the mountain.
We went for a lovely walk at Cascade Falls the other day. At the end of August, the water level was incredibly low compared to other images I've seen. The country roads on the drive out were also beautiful, so it made for a wonderful day.
I only had my light weight tripod with me, which only extends up so high. At first I thought about climbing over the railing to get the shot...but I'm not brave enough...or maybe I AM smart enough...to not do that. From the viewing platform I still got a fun shot I think.

Not so many years ago, I was the one walking out on the cliff edge while others called me back in. I was excited to push the boundaries of adventure. I loved feeling limitless. But something has changed. With more aches and pains, I’m no longer confident that I won’t lose my balance. I’ve seen the real consequences when things don’t go as planned. Am I smarter and wiser? Yes. Am I limiting my experiences too much? Probably. When my daughter walked out on the cliff edge above this fast flowing river, my Mom instinct kicked in and my anxiety soared. What’s with that? Time to check my risk aversion and push myself out of my comfort zone more often I think, but within limits. That’s where life’s fun and adventure lives.

Under the McGee Creek Trestle near Shawnigan Lake, Vancouver Island, BC., Canada, a fallen maple leaf drifts down stream while rivelets, ripples, smooth circular hilights and rocks encircle it.
Stopped here at the very last light of the day to take yet another photo of this ‘bonsai’ tree. I have several and they are all very different, different seasons, weather and light. All showcasing this little tree that is thought to be one of the most photographed trees in Canada.
Sitting on top of an old Douglas fir log grows the little Douglas fir tree which has been dubbed “The Fairy Lake Bonsai Tree”. It is estimated to be somewhere between 40 and 50 years old. The only nutrition this tree gets is from its host log, fallen many years ago.

The last time I took skytrain was way before pandemic started. Even though everything is starting to get normal, I noticed it is still relatively quiet. In some ways, I feel a lot safer that way.
Because the train was quite empty, I had the chance to play around with my camera settings :)

Fall colours along the road leading to Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: I am still sharing some photos from my favourite season, fall! Mid to late October is usually the time with most vibrant colours and that sure proved to be true when I went to Burnaby Mountain near the end of October. I just had to stop along the road that goes up to the park as the yellows were so pretty. It was a rainy day, but that didn't matter and the colours provided some brightness on this grey day.

Some information on Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Burnaby Mountain is one of the beautiful places to visit in Burnaby and is located near the Simon Fraser University. The views over the mountains, the Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and Indian arm from up here make it such a great place. This is a fairly popular destination popular visitors and locals alike. The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. There is a network of trails which offer a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options. There is also a playground tucked away in the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours in season and a great variety of roses. Nearby is the acclaimed Horizons restaurant and two majestic totem poles, a reminder of the community's proud native heritage. Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
Burnaby Mountain is a great place to enjoy in any season as there are always the beautiful views over the city, the mountains, the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm (a coastal fjord of about 18km/11.25mi long).
