When my friend arrived on the summit of Cheam Mountain this summer, she pointed in this direction and said how much she liked it. I got all animated and told her and everyone else (3 people) that "wow! really?! that's my favourite part of this 360 view too. I took that exact photo 10 minutes ago! blah, blah..." She told me to be quiet. Maybe she's right, I'm a dork sometimes.
Due to a temporary working conflict, we must have a more professional friendship. Outings like this will have to wait.
So, until then. I hope she enjoys the view. :)

On a tranquil morning at Cheam Lake, the air was filled with a quiet stillness. The sun, making its ascent in the sky, cast a gentle light on the landscape. With camera in hand, I walked the winding trails and crossed wooden bridges, the lake's surface, like a mirror, capturing the serene beauty of the surroundings. In the distance, ducks quacked, and swans gracefully landed on the water, adding a delightful touch to the scene. A heron stood statuesque on a stump, its keen eyes scanning for breakfast, while majestic eagles circled overhead, keenly observing the lake. The wooden bridges, weathered and worn, added a simple charm to the picturesque setting, offering a peaceful retreat where the symphony of nature at Cheam Lake unfolded with each unhurried step.

The resort is all decked out in holiday regalia. A wonderful time for a visit to this beautiful spot in British Columbia, Canada.

Mount Cheam, or Lhílheqey as it is called in the Stó:lō language. It is the name of a woman who was turned to stone by the transformers, and was given the responsibility to watch over the river and the people.
I am privileged to live, play and photograph in the unceded territory of the Stó:lō people. Huy tseep q'u
Cheam Wetlands in the blessed rain which, with a wind had swept away the recent bad air after many weeks.
Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park is located at Popkum, B.C. not far from the intersection of Highway 9 and the Trans Canada Highway. The area has quite the history, first logged extensively and then the lake was drained for the mining of Marl limestone. The mining ceased in 1988 and since then efforts have and continue to be underway to restore the area's natural environment. It is a popular birding location.

I was looking at an image of a Black-throated Gray Warbler on Flickr this morning and I remembered that I had not seen any of them this year. This morning I found one at the Lake Cheam Wetlands Park.
If I knew it would work like that I have a long list of birds I would love to see!
Mt Cheam and a host of nearby peaks are silhouettes with the sun rising behind them. This is a panorama taken while placing our garbage on the driveway for pickup this morning.
This photo was taken several months ago on a hike to Cheam Peak, near Chilliwack, B.C., Canada. The hike took us through the clouds and back out. This photo captures but a moment of the constantly changing scenery around us as the clouds blew past.

I saw this River Otter at the Cheam Wetlands Park about a month ago and I have visited several times since then but there has been no sign of him again.
Looking Southeast from Agassiz area toward Mount Cheam in the Fraser Valley. The Elevation is 2,104 m (6,903 ft.) part of the Canadian Cascade Mountain range
Looking towards Chilliwack and back of some blueberry bushes and low hanging fog, we see Mt. Cheam, Lady Peak, Baby Munday and Stewart Peak. Taken from the corner of McTavish Road & Satchell Street in Abbotsford, British Columbia. (25-01-06-0057)
A pair of River Otters are keeping very close on Cheam Lake. A photographer I spoke with had been watching them for a couple hours and mating had been taking place.
By this time of the morning there was light glare and haze but a record shot is better than none.

The community is a part of the Fraser Valley Regional District. Harrison Mills is home to the British Columbia Heritage Kilby Museum and Campground.

A Frosty Morning just before sunrise looking across the Lower Falls Golf Course with Mt Cheam in the background
Moon rising over Mt. Cheam, near Chilliwack, BC, Canada, on Dec 2, 2006 at around 4:15 pm. I was just lucky to notice it in time to get out there and start shooting. A different, and more richly coloured, image than the one in the series I posted earlier.
Agassiz, BC Canada
One of the most spectacular views in the Fraser Valley, Mount Cheam offers a 360-degree panoramic view from Chilliwack and the communities along the Fraser River, Jones Lake, the surrounding peaks, and Mount Baker to the south.
Cheam is the farthest northerly peak of a small group of peaks forming a local subrange, the Cheam Range, a small group of peaks forming a local 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.
Behind them is Wahleach Lake, which begins at the east foot of Cheam and lies in a high-altitude valley ringed by the Cheam Range.
