The delicate shades of alpenglow colour the Norht Shore Mountains as the Sun sets on another beautiful Vanocuver day.

Siwash Rock is one of the most distinctive features of the Stanley Park Seawall.

Sunset over the Lionsgate bridge with fresh snow on the North Shore Mountains. Vancouver is truly a unique place.

The subtle yet brilliant colors of late autumn captured in Laurel's garden.

The soft velvety water makes an almost abstract pattern against the wet river rocks.

A burst of sunlight and blue sky after days of rain.

An autumn sunset at Davis Bay Sometimes it seems that we go for weeks without seeing the sun, but when it comes it is spectacular.

Rainbows bring hope in troubled times. That such beauty can exist and be so ephemeral fills me with wonder.

Another view of Joffre Glacier from this summer, this time given a vaguely Ansel Adams treatment.

The rich ochers and oranges of fallen leaves are a rare but welcome sight in the coastal rainforest.

I was going through some old photos from the summer and discovered this beautiful one of Joffre Lakes and the rapidly retreating glaciers there.

A very subtle sunrise this morning. The sky was a mixture of lavender and delicate salmon pink with a hink of mist. It was worth dragging my sick carcass out of bed!!!

Yet another golden autumn picture. This one is from a walk through an alder grove in Stanley Park.

A walk in the woods on a rare sunny October day (Thursday) yielded this crisp scene.

A field of alpine plants gets a delicate autumn paint job. THe reds, pinks and maroons contrast nicely with the deep green of the evergreens.

Sunset at Westham Island in Ladner. It doesn't have to be wilderness to be beautiful.

While our western Bigleaf maples aren't as colorful as their eastern counterparts they are equally spectacular when draped in mosses and ferns.

Skies this blue remind me of certain Central American butterflies whose wings looked like precious stones.

Autumn in the mountains is a subtle thing, it is the hidden corners that have the greatest beauty.

If it weren't for the Coast Mountains this could have been a shough in Saskatchewan. I love the strange juxtapositions in Landscape we get here on the West Coast.
