I should have stopped taking pictures after this shot. Instead, I drove to the lake to take more photos. As I got out of my car, I slipped on the ice and slammed on the concrete hard, hitting my back (and to a minor extent head). It destroyed my lens and my ND filters. All in all, $1,600 in damages and a very hurt back. Still, I'm grateful I can write about it.
Located on Vancouver Island, in B.C.- this pretty well describes their gardens, taken from hellobc site:;Woodland Gardens is a feast for the senses, and nature's healing powers contained in this serene beauty bring a calmness and tranquility to the soul."
That's what I see from the window where I work. Difficult to stay focused, as the conditions on the river change all the time and it often looks really interesting.

In 1987 I visited the first nations village of Ahousat on Flores Island on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Over the course of two long weekends (while my wife worked to set up the new school library) I was free to wander with my camera, talk to anybody I met, and take pictures of anything.

Modern society is a complex game. We built it and it rewards us with many advantages. Safety, services, and products to name three. The game can become quite stressful if taken too seriously, however. Because all that complexity is hard to navigate. It is a relatively new invention and our ape-like brains are still struggling with it. More and more stressed people are finding that spending time in nature feels quiet and peaceful. You feel less stressed. You feel... at home.
It’s nice having these little paths and trails pretty much in my backyard haha. Taken in Langley BC.
If you would ever so kindly follow my Instagram @mjg.604 it’d be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Water from the Matier Glacier flows down into Joffre Lakes. The intense ambient light is from the moon. It wasn't high enough to rise above the mountains, except through a small gap in the peaks, as you can see on the left of the image.
Although the moon makes the stars more difficult to capture, I really think it can help illuminate other parts of a scene you might not otherwise see clearly.
On Friday I got a new license plate. It's one of those BC Parks ones whose yearly fee helps support provincial parks and other protected areas. At $40/year, it's the minimum I can do to support these slices of heaven sprinkled throughout British Columbia. Secretly, I hope my photos might help promote them as well in some way.
The stillness of a large mountain lake can catch your breath at times. So many factors, and they all align to present a perfectly still, mirror reflection to gaze upon. Blessed scenes in nature. Birkenhead, BC

Nature is the ultimate sculptor. My favorite scenes remain those that combine what nature and humans created together. The vineyard on the hill is likely Thomas Vineyard. I say likely because there are so many vineyards around here that it's actually hard to tell who owns a given piece of land. Other wineries this might belong to are Liquidity and Blue Mountain Vineyards.
I took myself on an adventure yesterday out to the Mission/Stave Lake area. I had never been before, and decided to go check it out and see what I could see. I spent a lot more time in the car than I would have liked, again, the not knowing "where to go" as well as taking an Acura on some pretty rough Forest Service Roads was questionable at times.
After a great day of shooting, I was heading back into town, when the clouds that had been present in the sky earlier had disappeared. I was close to Pitt Lake, so I pulled into a parking lot by the Alouette River. I stepped out of the car, set up the camera and timer, and let the shutter click.
I only took about 60 shots, I was pretty hungry and getting tired, and didn't want to spend much more time behind the wheel.
I wanted to take a photo of the moon between two sources of artificial light. I actually got that shot but when editing a selection of the photos, this one where the highlights are less contained jumped at me due to the alien-like optical illusion. I thought it was cool enough to share, even if the picture itself is of a lesser caliber.
