hello Flickr followers, we have a nice view on mount Cheam from the place where we stay. When this sky shows up early morning i went outside with the cam and took a few images. With a little bith of imagination you can see the face of a sleeping indian in this famous mountain.
The nature over here is amazing, beautiful scenery's everywhere and the wildlife is amazing. Today we planned a trip to golden ears provincial park, another beautiful trip for people who loves nature.
MOUNT CHEAM IS PART OF THE NORTHERN CASCADE MOUNTAIN RANGE - WESTERN CANADA
Cheam's structure is pyramidal, with north, northwest, south and east faces. While the north face is the steepest, the northwest face is also sheer. A prominent spur ending in the sub peak called "Red Pyramid" or "Red Tower" (1,400 m (4,593 ft)) divides the two northern faces. The western ridge divides the northwest and south faces; below the gently sloping south face is the subalpine bowl of Spoon Lake. The southeast ridge ascends from the col with Lady Peak, two km to the southeast; Jones Lake is below the east face. A sharp ridge divides the east and north faces.
Mount Cheam (2,104 m) is a prominent, pyramidal peak towering over the eastern Fraser Valley, offering stunning 360-degree views of the Cheam Range, Fraser River, and Mt. Baker.
Cheam is the farthest northerly peak of a small group of peaks known as the Cheam Range, which form a subrange of the Skagit Range of the Canadian Cascades mountains (which are the Canadian extension of the North Cascades of Washington). It dominates the eastern Fraser Valley, rising above Bridal Falls and Agassiz just east of Chilliwack, British Columbia. It and three sister peaks form a group known as the Four Sisters or Four Brothers, which are part of the mountain wall framing the Lower Mainland; though visible from as far away as Vancouver Island on a clear day, like Cheam does for the Eastern Valley, they are a dominant part of the mountain skyline of Mission and the communities of Hatzic, Dewdney and Deroche.

Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.

At the base of Mt. Cheam in Agassiz, near Chilliwack, B.C., Canada, we were on the lookout for a Red Shouldered Hawk. The bird had slipped north, 350 miles beyond its usual range in Oregon and there had been a rare sighting in this area. After locating it, some Trumpeter Swans near us began to leave the area and take flight for their night-time sleeping area. These Trumpeter Swans winter in our region but live and breed in Alaska spring to fall. The ground was frozen and there had been fresh snow the night before. The conditions were spectacular: The low angle of the sun, combined with Mt. Cheam at 2,000 metres rising majestically above us, and the beauty of Trumpeter Swans in flight made this a very special moment. The region around Agassiz, Popkum and Rosedale is dramatic, scenic, and offers tremendous opportunities for birders and anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
Searching for the fall colors all day on Sunday - Silver Lake and streams around , Manning Park , back towards home we ended on Cheam lake. Just a bit after sunset . Not very easy , bush-waking and setting tripod on bunch of twigs. Lucky it was very calm , with no wind to speak off. Way in the distance couple dozen trumpeter swans. Too far to “shoot” them.
This brings me back to an adventure up to Jones Lake in 2023. The lake was frozen and the sky was dramatic. It was one of the most incredible scenes I have seen. Kris..
Mount Cheam visually dominates much of the Fraser Valley near Vancouver, BC., Canada. It is the highest mountain in the valley and is part of the Cascade Range of mountains. Here, despite its distance from the resort community of Harrison Hotsprings, seen in the foreground, it appears to look down upon the 1600-member community. In reality Cheam is not “looking down “on the community at all, in fact it’s a fair distance away. This distortion between the town and the mountain is due to the affect of foreshortening from the telephoto lens. The telephoto lens with its narrow field of view makes the distance between these two objects appear much closer than they actually are. Compounding the foreshortening distortion is the use of a series of these images blended to create the panorama. It was a clear day with a great view and the haze in the valley added depth and layering.
Well the skies never cooperated so I took this pano as the sun went down in the west. It did create a beautiful warm glow on the mountains and was a nice way to spend an afternoon. Kris...
There is one spot along the Chilliwack river valley that offers wonderful views of Mt Cheam. You have to stop on the side of the road with cars roaring by but its worth getting a shot like this.. Kris..

At the Cheam Wetlands there were a lot of the Yellow-rumped Warblers exploring the creek. Must have been some kind of an insect hatching as they were feeding rapidly.

September 7 2017 at Cheam Lake, BC, Canada.
There were a lot of Paddle-tailed Darners at Cheam Lake. They were all busily flying around. This one zipped past and I somehow managed to get a decent shot of it!
Looking east down the Fraser Valley from Abbotsford is Mt Cheam and it's cluster of peaks.
Considering all the rain and flooding we've had, the last couple of days on Sumas prairie have been almost Spring like. But lots of rain still to come! We take advantage of all the sun we can get!
Mount Cheam, rising a mile above the floor of the Fraser Valley near Vancouver, B.C. gleams in the late afternoon sunshine after a snowfall. It is a recognizable landmark along the Trans-Canada Highway.
Today's walk was in the eastern Fraser Valley where this lovely landmark peak is located.
It's 2104 meters (or 6902 feet) high and is a popular day hike in summer months for providing gorgeous 360 degree views.

It has been a good spring for male Bullock's Orioles, I even saw a female today. This one surprised me as I walked down a path at the Lake Cheam Wetlands Park.

Taken from our farm in Abbotsford, after a day of both sunshine and relentless blowing wind and snow, at sunset it settled down a bit and I was able to get this lovely shot of Mt. Cheam and the other mountains near Chilliwack, British Columbia. (17-02-07-6524)

Cheam Peak or Mount Cheam, the local indigenous language, referring to the lowland below. The Halqemeylem name for the mountain is Lhílheqey – Theeth-uhl-kay – from the word Lhelqey – "glacier" or "rehydrate", referring to the west ridge of the peak.

I post a lot of dark, or post sunset images due to most of my photography being after I finish work for the day. Those images don't seem to be everyone's cup of tea, so here is something brightly lit.
CP AC4400CWM 8101 leads eastbound priority intermodal train 112 east through the Fraser Valley at Agassiz, British Columbia. Mount Cheam, the second most prolific peak in the region stands high above the scene, forming the eastern wall of mountains which forced the railroads building through the region to turn north to find their passage.
8101 was repainted this spring into the railroad's new paint scheme. That paint shone for a brief few weeks, before the locomotive found its way into the coal power pool at Golden, BC, and made two cycles from the East Kootenay coal mines to the port at Roberts Bank and back as a mid train DPU. Those 120 hours running through coal loaders, dumpers, and intermediate load sprayers weathered the nose and tail of the unit to the point where a casual observer would assume it had a much longer tenure in its new attire.
Westbound VIA train #1, The Canadian, is running hopelessly late. Delays on CN rails across Northern Ontario, and continuing across the prairie provinces put this train up to 12 hours late at various points on its 2,800 mile journey across Canada.
The passengers who would normally have woken to sunrise at or near Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, were instead treated to a daylight trip down the scenic Fraser Canyon, and Fraser Valley. The current schedule of the train includes a significant amount of padding, allowing for 8.5 hours for the final 125 miles of the trip. That this train completed its journey almost 6 hours late despite the padding says a lot about how the host railroad treats the train.
Here a fresh crew brings the train down the Yale Subdivision, around the curve at Rosedale, BC with a snow dusted Mount Cheam above.
