An area I haven’t explored before is the south Delta area along the Fraser River, including Westham Island. This time of year is perfect for exploring local sights given the shorter daylight and fickle weather. As you drive further west out of the community of Ladner, the more back in time the whole area feels. Here is one such sight, …
Here and there indeed as I rambled through various sites in south Burnaby and Port Royal last weekend. In search of fall colours, I took a walk through Burnaby’s Central Park on Saturday. While the vine maple there was mostly green, there were several patches that had turned orange to red. On Sunday, I walked through Byrne Creek Ravine Park …
Clinton is a great jumping off point to see the unique landscape and forested regions west towards the Fraser River. On this day outing I visited the three Big Bars, the Big Bar Reaction Ferry at the Fraser River, Little Big Bar Lake, and Big Bar Lake. Driving southwest from Clinton along the paved Clinton-Pavilion Road leads through ranch land …
Over the past several days, I have been out to several sites photographing and I thought it would be a nice change from my usual posts to share a few photos from each. On Boxing Day I headed over to Pritchett Creek located in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park looking for some ice and snow shots. There was a few inches …
It was an early start this morning at Steveston, located along the Fraser River. Arriving before sunrise at a marina near No. 2 Road, I was eager to capture some night photos of the boats and lights. Near sunrise, I spotted the illuminated low clouds and fog over the Fraser River and quickly made my way to the London Landing …

On Saturday I headed over to Noons Creek in the residential area of Port Moody which provided a quick entry point. The creek was running high with good volume from the recent rain and the melting snow on Eagle …
The scenic Fraser River Canyon and the Thompson River Canyon, a spectacular sight at any time of year, are even more so with the fall colours at their peak. The rivers have cut through limestone and volcanic layers leaving vast sections of deep narrows canyons. As I left Hope early Friday morning beginning the climb to the Fraser Plateau via the Fraser Canyon, the …
Yesterday was a double header, starting in the morning with an urban stroll along the Fraser River in the newer community of Port Royal and then in the afternoon, further west on Deas Island. The community of Port Royal is located on the eastern tip of Lulu Island with the mighty Fraser River flowing past. Lulu Island is the largest …
On Sunday morning with a short break in the multi-day snow fall here in Metro Vancouver, I headed over to Derby Reach Regional Park. Having walked that park numerous times, I knew the area has deciduous and fruit trees, perfect for holding freshly fallen snow on their slender branches. The contrast of the dark toned branches with the bright lightly toned snow can …
It was indeed an unusual location for a photo shoot. I sometimes wonder if people, looking at my photos, imagine I must have been in an exotic location or at least one that took some effort to get to. Sometimes they are, but often the locations are more mundane. Read on and I will describe this jewel of a location surrounded …
