Paul Lake,
Kamloops, B.C.
This is a little stream that empties out of Paul Lake and runs through this little marshland. It was pouring rain when I took this shot but at least I did manage to get a useable shot. My pictures of the lake pretty much all had raindrops on the lens, :-/
Viewpoint & rest stop
Kamloops Lake, BC
One of the best parts of getting interested in photography a year ago has been discovering places in my own area that I've never been before. This bench is in a roadside rest stop high above Kamloops Lake. There are also picnic tables set atop the cliff with gorgeous views.
Happy Bench Monday!
Please view large!

I was trying to catch the mood here, my wife and I had just sat out at a local Coffee shop for a couple of hours enjoyed the warm night air. This is downtown Oakville a very nice place to spend an evening.
Back Cataloguing to 2022. Almost forgot about this pretty little place. It was a two for one, as we were actually photographing an old place on the other side of the road.
View across the Thompson River
From Mission Flats
It looks like one mountain from this angle but there are two distinct peaks with a plateau between them. Mt. Paul is in front and Mt. Peter, which has an elevation of 3650' or 1110 m, is behind.
From way back in the archives, a new edit.

Canada's first Inn in a Lighthouse consisting of 14 rooms B&B. Sleep in a lighthouse, drift off to the sound of gently rolling waves, enjoy spectacular sunsets...
This was a little scene I hadn't come across before near Walton. It was pretty tricky in terms of capturing the whole scene, there are quite a few obstacles and unwanted bits and bobs just out of frame (including adjacent to the brown house, hence I cut it off on purpose. Had I realized at the time, I may have just stepped a little to my right to capture the second road line that is clipped). But who could resist those red barns and the bridge!
Flickr Friday -- theme "Vanishing Point"
This is a shot of the railway tracks heading past the abandoned settlement at Tranquille, just a few kilometres west of Kamloops.
This was once a self-sustaining community back in 1907 when it was established as a tuberculosis sanatorium. Many films and TV shows have been shot there, including several episodes of the vampire TV show "Van Helsing".
Thank you everyone for you comments and fave ! I always appreciate you all ! and am looking forward to a New year with all of you :)
A windy day drives this juvenile Cedar Waxwing deep into cover. It found a calm spot with some berries nearby to feed on.
I wriggled my lens past a few branches to grab this shot, but the ISO is pushed up alot.
I actually wasn't going to post this image as it was so grey at my favourite spot, but once edited it grew on me, as I found it quite calming to look at
Stonehurst is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Lunenburg Municipal District in Lunenburg County near to Blue Rocks.
I've envisioned this image now for about 2 years. This morning all the elements I wanted finally fell into place. Couldn't wait to share it.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind

I first photographed this old farm building in February, so this past weekend it seemed like visiting an old friend. I was amused to find when I looked at the old shot I'd posted that I'd chosen the same composition both times despite taking lots of angles.
Click on the one taken in the winter (in the first comment below) if you want to read the interesting history of the building.
South Thompson River,
Chase, B.C.
This picture was originally supposed to be a shot of the river but it turned out to be a shot of the sky instead. Funny how one loses control of these things sometimes.
Thompson River
Kamloops, B.C.
It's been cold here (-11 C during the day and -16 overnight). But you don't really mind if there is beautiful sunshine and no wind.
North Thompson River,
Kamloops B.C.
As I watched great pieces of ice move past in the river in a slow motion flow, the sunlight glistening upon them, I stopped thinking about how much I hate the cold weather. It's amazing what sunshine and blue sky can do to one's thoughts!
I spotted this decorative garland in Annapolis Royal and being a sucker for textures and shingles I couldn't resist a quick shot of it. I looks like it may have weathered a few storms!
'Where's the Flux Capacitor?' I thought this title seemed appropriate for this shot. Gauges and copper galore, this is the German Still (or part of) at the Ironworks Micro Distillery - her name is Berghitte. I cannot tell you how good this place smells!
I haven’t seen too many of these speedsters on the ground before, so I was kind of happy to catch this happy little one bouncing around the trail at Point Pelee.
This deer had her face stuck in the snow rooting for food, when she suddenly snapped up giving me this silly snow face look.
A trio of Cormorants
Broken Group Islands
Barkley Sound, B.C.
I probably couldn't have gotten a better pose out of these three birds. They are sitting atop a rocky islet in the waters of Barkley Sound, just south of Ucluelet, B.C. In the distance behind them are the mountains of Vancouver Island; the most distant snow-capped ones are about 100 km away.
This islet is part of the Broken Group Islands, a scattering of over 100 small islands and islets found in Barkley Sound off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Together with Long Beach and the West Coast Trail, the Broken Group is part of Pacific Rim National Park.
... after the floodwaters recede.
Across the pond (which is still a bit larger than usual) are the abandoned buildings of Tranquille
Train trip #22
Jasper National Park
I've always loved this part of the drive through the Park but this utterly surpassed the view from the highway. It was a place I'd never even seen before and I couldn't even place quite where the highway would be. It was like a new world.
The swimmers have left. A gentleman fishing still waits for a bite. It's quiet. One can even hear the small ripples on the lake. Yes, this is a quiet time, a good time.
Floating dock on Lake Lillian, British Columbia.
Contrary to some peoples' perception, I do actually take photographs at different times of the day. Granted I perhaps don't do it as often as I should but time restraints usually tend to play a part in that. This was a must shoot, stop the car moment. This house just looked so inviting in the last of the afternoon sunlight especially with their pretty floral and pumpkin display.
Taken in the Annapolis Valley.
A beautiful capture of a great country meadow on a peaceful afternoon in Southwestern Ontario Canada.
The wild turkey family made an appearance at our campsite and clawed through the undergrowth in search of food. I was busy cooking breakfast when I heard the scratching and turned around to see them 15 feet away. Mom and her 8 poults weren't afraid of me so long as I kept a distance. They moved along in search of more food once I was able to retrieve my camera.
Pinery Prov Park
Lambton Shores, ON
Not quite as lively in colour as my last upload, but still sticking with Fall Colours. I loved this old shed/summer house surrounded by all the wild Fall shrubbery/scrub.
as seen from Neys Provincial Park, after sunset. Beyond the tiny Barclay Islands, in the distance you can see the much larger Slate Islands Provincial Park, home to about 200 woodland caribou.
I have photographed this lighthouse so many times now and I don't know what it is about the location, but I never seem to be entirely happy with the results.I thought I would try a pano this time. I find what the eye sees is so amazing, the rocks are gorgeous, but my photos just don't translate. Still, I keep trying. 5 images stitched. (Birds making a come back :o)
One of Nova Scotia's 10 living history attractions, the Hector Heritage Quay Interpretation Centre tells the story of 18th-century Scottish migration to the New World and the role of Ship Hector in making Pictou the “Birthplace of New Scotland”.
Unfortunately 'The Hector' Ship undergoing repairs and will be for a long time.
