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.

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.

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.

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 🌊

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.

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.

This photo is at Brandywine Falls, BC, Canada. I am caught standing in awe, wearing my Grey Wolf Spirithood coat. During this photo, ice sickles were falling off the edge and making this loud hollow banging noise. It was pretty haunting.

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.

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.

These meadows absolutely blew my mind because I have never seen anything like them in my life. Everywhere you look you see alpine flowers and tall pointy trees, surrounded by miraculous mountains and lakes around each bend. Would very much recommend this Hike to Taylor Meadows any day.

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.

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.

What a great time to stop at this lookout which is located off of one of the most beautiful highways in Canada, The Sea to Sky. As we arrived at this spot, I was able to capture the amazing glow of the spring sun during golden hour. Mountains have always had a special place in my heart just because they are so fascinating and you begin to realize how small you are on this earth.

I’ve got a favourite spot for the slopestyle event at Crankworx Whistler. Every year they change the course and the jumps, so it’s always a new shot. This year, it involved a log and some fab little maple leafs.

We were at the top of blackcomb mountain after walking across the suspension bridge surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains and the light hit the blue lake at just the right moment that made me stop in my tracks. It was all my little sony had to zoom in and grab this shot right before the battery died and the lift almost left us at the top of the mountain.
