This is a small creak leading to Battleship lake in Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island. It was beautiful in Winter but I bet it is even better in the summer. This place is now on my summer camping bucket list.

This photo was taken at Kwai Lake in Strathcona Provincial Park, BC. We had hiked nearly 10km in the rain that day and were overjoyed when we finally arrived at our beautiful destination. While we were setting up camp for the night, I managed to sneak off to capture the fog over the lake, welcoming us to the area.

We were spending the week in Qualicum, BC and decided one evening to take our kayaks out to enjoy the sunset. Shortly after setting out on the water everything calmed down and the water turned to glass. I never thought the ocean could be so calm. The sunset was amazing as well. Purple hues were cast over the mountains in the distance. Everything reflected off the water like a mirror. It felt like we were in a dream.

I hiked Lone Cone in Tofino with my husband and dog. The trees are very dense , so when you’re looking at the island from the other side of the water, you can’t tell that the ground is covered in icy snow. What struck me was the contrast of the vibrant green with the snowy patches…and looking up gave my eyes a bit of relief from the intensity, only to find this soothing view.

Flying over the treetops of dense forest on Vancouver Island with Tofino Air. You could easily get lost wandering through these parts of British Columbia.

On a scenic flight with Tofino Air in a DeHavilland Beaver over the water. It’s amazing how many incredible places just like this we flew over that day…

While venturing into an old forest in Tofino, British Columbia I could help but be mesmerized by just how thick some of the trees trunks were. I came across this trunk that sprawled like roots and was fascinated by its shape and all the moss growing on top of it.

Cox Bay is a wonderful place for surfing, and you can watch them having fun all day and into the late evening. But at some point it is time to go home …

This was the view from the front deck of the cottage I stayed at in Tofino this past weekend. Before you get too jealous, it rained most of the weekend so we didn’t get a chance to use these chairs. However, it cleared up the last day right before we left and I got this photo.

Bamfield on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada is a remote community that is home to a sophisticated marine science research centre, but also to a town that is spread out between a number of inlets. I loved this photo because we had the amazing experience of kayaking in amongst these inlets and remote areas that are untouched. Shortly after this photo was taken, I saw an elusive humpback whale emerge from the sea briefly and never saw it again.

At the lake where I spent the most time during my childhood, this particular moment was still one I had never seen before. The combination of sun and fog was spectacular as it danced among the layers of forest that sat above the lake.

At Pachena Bay Campground in Bamfield, we had a campsite that was only steps to the beach. In a fog zone like on Vancouver Island’s west coast, there are seldom fire bans, but it is also cold at night. The weekend spent camping in Bamfield was among my favourite getaways, and by far my fondest camping experience. The entire weekend we witnessed gray whales feeding on krill from this beach, and evenings were spent sitting by the fire and watching the sunset. Truly peaceful.

On this trip to the Tantalus Range I was forced to come to terms with the tradeoff that exists in the high alpine mountains: beauty and danger. One of our teammates fell 40 metres from the face of a mountain to the snow below. He was evacuated via helicopter. This picture was taken hours later. The horror of the fall and the peaceful beauty of the sunset demonstrated that the mountains are indifferent to our presence.

We never thought that riding a ferry would be such an exciting part of the trip, cause till now we thought of them more of a way to transport yourself on the other shore. But apparently, we have a thing for boats and no seasickness 🌊

This log has obviously been drifting for a while before it washed up on this stone beach in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park. It was the color that stood out from the rest of the beach and caught my eye.

The beautiful thing about living in Vancouver is the access to local, beautiful places like this. On this day, I was stressed out, tired and a little down on my luck. My remedy? Grab a Car Share, grab my camera and head out to the mountains for sunset. The result? This beautiful image that I love. Enjoy.

Every year my wife and I visit family on Vancouver Island. Each morning we wake up and tend to the crab and prawn traps we set out the day before in the bay. We are often greeted by seals and seagulls as we voyage into the water. There is something serene about the water. While we were hauling up our gear I looked and could hardly make out what seemed to be a camouflaged home in the middle of the hills. I’m not sure how they have access to the property… I just know that I’m jealous.

As I was descending Black Mountain in Cypress, I witnessed some beautiful light diffraction in the air just after the sunset. This gave me a sky graduated in colors from orange to blue. I used my zoom lens to capture this amazing natural effect.

After a hike up in the fog we couldn’t see anything at the top of the mountain, on our descent I turned around to look behind us because the light seemed pretty nice and this is what I saw.

I was on night 2 of a backpacking trip on the Juan de Fuca trail in British Columbia watching the sun go down behind the trees and this rock I was sunning myself on earlier in the day. The waves were crashing up on the shore and I had propped myself up on a large boulder as close as I could get to the water. I was soaked at the end of it all but it was worth it. Such as amazingly beautiful beach and my favourite image to remember that hike.
