I posted this image about 3 weeks ago and it appears that it was deleted by accident. I am sorry that more than 150 of your faves , plus all the comments were lost.
Reposting. :)
This image way taken on the South Arm of the Alouette River and was captured by boat.
A close up on this peaceful way of living.
I could totally see myself living this life style :)

I met Charlotte that day. Didn't take a pic of her but she will recognize the scenery where she was that day. Have a look at the gallery, she is very very talented and a very nice person that I couldn't see after that because the pandemic.
J'ai rencontré Charlotte ce jour-là. Je n'ai pas pris de photo d'elle mais elle reconnaîtra le paysage où elle se trouvait ce jour-là. Jetez un œil à la galerie, elle est très très talentueuse et une personne très sympathique que je n'ai pas pu voir après à cause de la pandémie.
Wishing all my Flickr friends and visitors a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. May '22 bring a more healthier world to us all.
Stay safe and remain kind.
Thank-you for being so supportive this year, I truly enjoyed your visits, comments and testimonials.
Cheers,

I went to Pitt Lake for a photo day with a friend. The ice was melting on the water and creating some cool patterns. I have posted images from here many times before, but every time, it looks a bit different to me. I've never seen ice on the lake before. One of my favourite spots....
Okay, I know that's not a hard one :) He was fishing there and I had no idea that there might be fish in this marsh.
I think most of you know this place by now, as I love to go there, and had the opportunity to stop for a few minutes last week. It was a cloudy day but that's how I like it.

Can you tell I love the fog? We were in Pitt Meadows today, and as it was getting dark, the fog was lying on the ground and rising up like a ghostly specter.

I've posted many images of Catbird Slough...here is one more. This one is from last year. I haven't been there for too long...really hope to get out there again soon.
This is one from my archives. I took it at Pitt Marsh in Pitt Meadows. The tall grass reminded me of calligraphy.

Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty.

We went to Pitt Lake yesterday. Last time I went was in January...now the trees are filled with leaves and the lake covered with lily pads.It almost rained but not quite, the sky reflecting a wonderful glow in the water.
Yes, this is real. I could see the surreal light and cloud on the snowtopped mountain from a distance and just hoped I would make it there in time, as it was almost sunset. The light was so bright, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.
I took this about 10 minutes after Eventide, two images back.
This is a song that gives me shivers every time I hear it. If you have 3 1/2 minutes to listen, I have a feeling you might get shivers too :)

I will be very busy for the next couple of days, so will catch up with you on the weekend :)
Life has been very busy and I've not had time to be online. I took this just before we had the huge snowstorm, and I'm sure many of you will recognize this place from my past posts.
I will try to catch up with your latest images :)
The sun rises, the sun falls, the wind blows and the birds sing no matter where you are. These are experiences that unite us all... something we can all enjoy together.

I took this at Pitt Addington Marsh on our walk in the rain....you can see the raindrops in the water here.
Nothing reminds us of an awakening more than rain.

Pitt River
British Columbia
Canada
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m 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 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. 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.

Artsy HDR impression of some local boats moored at the small marina located at the end of the Pitt River before it opens up into the wonderworld of Pitt Lake.
Communities of rustic to luxury cabins are nestled in clusters along the lake's shores.
A whole new world opens up to a pristine tidal lake that is only accessible by boat.
Pitt Lake according to Wikipedia:
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest.

The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

…it is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.
~ Mary Oliver
I'm sure many of you will recognize this place, as I've posted many images from here. This one is from a few years ago. I saw it in my archives and it filled me with a sense of calm just looking at it. Hope it won't be too long till I can go back.
Theme: Landscape
For there to be harmony and peace, everything must be balanced. And for there to be balance, there must be equality. And where there is equality, there will be justice. And where justice is honored and preserved, there will always be truth. Eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, and nationality. We are all equals with a common pulse to survive. Every human requires food and water. Every human has a dream and desire to be happy. Every human responds to love, suffering and pain. Every human bleeds the same color and occupies the same world. Let us recognize that we are all part of each other. We are all human. We are all one.
