This crazy weather! Mother Nature chose this morning to remind us with a heavy snow shower that she will be the one to decide whether it’s winter or spring.
(I converted this image to black and white with Nik’s Silver Efex.)
Here on B.C.’s southern coast we have been having an unusually wintry February. This image of our hilly island landscape was taken during a heavy snow squall.
A deserted island road, on a misty morning.
November sun lights up the land where this abandoned cabin sits. The seaside acreage has been turned into a park for all to enjoy.
This low-lying field is often shrouded in morning mist, while the surrounding landscape is perfectly clear.
Cabins are shut up for the season, the lake now empty of swimmers and canoes. Distant laughter and barbecue aromas no longer drift across the water. The dragonflies have disappeared too, and taken the summer with them, leaving behind cool nights, misty mornings, and a new generation sleeping just beneath the surface.

While driving to the beach Saturday morning, I saw the rising sun skimming across this field and had to pull over to get a shot.
During the all-too-brief period of sun we had last week, I took this image of three big-leaf maple trees growing in a wetlands area of the island. The tree-frogs were singing all around. I’m always on the lookout, but have yet to see one.
Taken on a recent damp morning walk.
