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.

white boat
The boat made no pretensions to beauty; it was remarkable only in the stark whiteness of its utilitarian fibreglass hull. But I liked the way it looked, set atop an ancient driftwood log, with a background of frosted foliage that preserved the minimalist colour palette.
island road
A deserted island road, on a misty morning.
abandoned
November sun lights up the land where this abandoned cabin sits. The seaside acreage has been turned into a park for all to enjoy.
autumn atmosphere
An ordinary, rather scrubby patch of land is transformed by rising mist.
localized mist
This low-lying field is often shrouded in morning mist, while the surrounding landscape is perfectly clear.
rustic fence
A typical fence around these parts.
summer’s gone
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.
pink streak
Another beautiful west coast sky, taken at Brooks Point Regional Park, Pender Island.
spring conifers
In spring the deciduous trees tend to steal the show with their burst of leafy finery, but these fir trees are also sporting some new green.
