This is Michelle. I knew about her before I knew her. I found her instagram account a long while ago and fell in love with her talent. This was about six months ago. It wasn't until recently that I met Kiaanna (from yesterday's post) and she then introduced me to Michelle. I tried my best to pretend I had no idea who she was except from what Kiaanna had told me.
In the short time we've known each other my perspective has changed so much. I used to see her as this perfect being, out taking incredible photos and living a life I could only dream of. Talking to her though, learning her as a person rather than an idol, I've come to respect her so much more. Knowing that she struggles, not only in creating an image she likes, but in daily things is something that had never crossed my mind. To know that she is as human as you or me and is still able to produce such talented work is something I admire to an extent which I can't describe with words. I'm glad to call her a friend.

Another shot from beautiful British Columbia.
I loved this night as the sky was the perfect colour and the moon happened to be on the horizon.
I love this photo for the calm reflection of the sky and how little ripples there were in it. Some show heavy waves and then for a couple minutes you get this wonderful glass like reflection.
As always, Thanks for viewing and comments are welcome.

Beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom at Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: I did some more cherry blossom chasing the other day and my first stop was beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park which had many trees in full blossom. I was early enough that there were hardly any people around. By the time I left there were quite some people around. I like how the sun was peeking through the blossoms.
There were many other flowers blooming at the park as well and the smells were just amazing.
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival officially kicks off on April 1, 2022. There are many different varieties to be found in Vancouver and we usually get to enjoy cherry blossoms from the end of March until the end of April.

Some information of Vancouver:Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Dead Pool", "Skyscraper", "The X-Files", "Dark Angel", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big airtram that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.
Built in 1966, it is still used daily by those walking on the trail - most do not even realize the beauty under their feet.
This day there was heavy fog lending to a nice soft photo - it flowed in and out of the little valley creating very interesting light.
Winter scene at Pitt Lake near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: We've been having lots of rain and mild temperatures the last couple of weeks. I am digging into my archives for some winter scenes. At that time we had been battered by some snow storms here on the west coast of Canada. In the area where I live we must have had about a foot (about 30cm) of snow if not more.
That morning I had to take my mother in law to the hospital in Maple Ridge for cataract surgery. She would be there for about 3 hours and while she having this procedure done, I decided to venture out to beautiful Pitt Lake which was not far away. As I approached the area I noticed there was quite a bit of fog. I stopped at the dykes before Pitt Lake with views of the mountains and marshes. I loved the low hanging clouds and the snowy winter scene.

Some information on the Pitt Lake area: Pitt Lake is located in Grant Narrows Regional Park in Pitt Meadows which is about 45 minutes east of downtown Vancouver. Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, being about 53.5 square km (20.5 square mi) in area. It is about 25km (15.6mi) long and about 4.5km (2.8mi) wide at its widest, and is also one of the world's largest tidal lakes, its confluence with the Fraser being only a few miles upstream from that river's estuary into the Strait of Georgia. Its southern tip, where the Pitt River resumes, is 40km (25mi) east of downtown Vancouver.
The upper Pitt River valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. The over-deepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140m (462ft) 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 120m (396ft) to 140m (462ft) above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west this fjord basin became cut off by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River by ca 10,500 years ago and is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
The community of Pitt Meadows occupies the marshy lowland at the southern end of the lake, some of which has become drained and is known as the Pitt Polder. 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. The Upper Pitt, meaning the valley upstream from the lake, is considered BC's best fly-fishing rivers and one of its best steelhead streams.
The lake is popular with boaters and canoeists, but is prone to heavy winds and rains as well as big waves (due to its great depth). The mountain range on its east flank comprises Golden Ears Provincial Park, its basin to the north is in southern Garibaldi Provincial Park, while the mountain range on its west, northeast of Vancouver's Coquitlam Lake watershed reservoir, is Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. The waterfront and foreshore of the lake and river are public-access and include extensive migratory wildfowl habitat. There is a destination golfing resort in the Pitt Polder area called Swan-e-set.
The area along the east side of the lake is somewhat famous for being the reputed location of Slumach's lost gold mine, the location of many failed and sometimes disastrous searches for the alleged murderer's lost gold mine. (Info from Wikipedia).

Beautiful waterfall in the heart of Ladysmith. Holland creek is just a few minutes walk from my house and it’s a perfect place go for a walk with the family or for the more adventurous you can complete the 8km loop that follows this meandering creek through the forest. The loop is rather gruelling with a few hundred stairs to contend with but the scenery is well worth the effort!

Little chilly tonight, but a beautiful calm night with stars in the sky instead of the storm clouds we have seen lately.

Sunrise on the Alouette River, Pitt Meadows 08-30-2013 • Instagram • Twitter • Facebook • Google+ • Tumbler • Pinterest • About Me ►►► All Photos ©SeaSide Signs ◄◄◄
The Alouette River has a significant place in the cultural heritage of the area. The #Katzie First Nation have historically depended on the salmon of the river and have maintained spiritual, cultural and economic ties to the river. The valley was part of a travel corridor for First Nations people between the Lower Fraser River area and the Lillooet area.

Stephan's Quintet, as its name implies, is a group of five faint galaxies. Top right NGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy at a distance of 49 million light-years from Earth.
Taken in my backyard there were numerous cloud bands that came thru which did ruin a few of the exposures, but I was lucky and able to recover sufficient data.
