Golden Ears, British Columbia


The Blanchard massif, which consists of
Golden Ears, Edge Peak and Blanchard Needle
(from west to east respectively) is commonly
known in the Lower Mainland as Golden Ears.
Whatever you choose to call her, in today's
photo, she is seen in a glorious coat of fresh snow
shining in all her splendor.

Every once in awhile Mother Nature
comes along and totally floors
you with her jaw gaping beauty.
After what seems like weeks of wet, rainy,
grey British Columbia weather,
the last 2 days have been overwhelmingly
gorgeous.
I saw many people looking up in amazement
at the freshly snow covered mountains with a backdrop
of crisp blue skies that faded to a spectacular pink and mauve
sunset.

No doubt it's cold in Vancouver, minus 3 Celsius for us is not the norm.
But who would trade these to-die-for mountain views with the
night skies' Milky Way just a hands reach away
for anywhere else on earth.

With the long range forecast for clear skies
and sunshine, I can only imagine
what other adventures Mother Nature
has in store.

Alouette Lake, British Columiba




Alouette Lake is located within
Golden Ears Provincial Park in
British Columbia, Canada.
Alouette Lake is a man made lake,
the water in it is fed
to Stave Lake via a tunnel, and
powers the Alouette Powerhouse.
She's a beautiful lake, 17 kms
long and has some great fishing.
There are remote wilderness campsites
along her shores, and an eye popping backdrop of
Edge Peak , Blanshard Peak,
and Golden Ears,
which are all part of the
Garibaldi Ranges.
No wonder so many movies are filmed
up here. Its a wilderness worthy
of poetry.
I am working my
way through visiting all of these
beautiful lakes, each has its own
character and charm, its own spirit
and place in the world.
Like man, they are all in some way
interconnected and depend on
each other, even if they don't know it.
Mother Nature teaches us so much
about ourselves, we just have to watch her
and listen to her.
Welcome to your life!
