Sub-alpine wetlands

Sub-alpine wetlands
Made by Eric Flexyourhead
Not so much of a hike on this Labour Day Monday as a wander with the camera through the sub-alpine wetlands near Yew Lake in Cypress Provincial Park. With temperatures on the mountain not much above 5° it was a little on the chilly side... I guess summer in Vancouver is pretty much over. September 1, 2008.

Visible focal point in the tree well
Made by Mr. Freek
Heading out for a snow shoe on Cypress we stopped in a tree well that made a small snow cave. I like the focal point and depth of field on either side of my face. Up above you can see how the branches have formed over the years under the weight of the snow to make a frame for a roof of ice and snow.

Foggy

Foggy
Made by mezzoblue
Vancouver has been shrouded in fog the last week or so, but it clung low to sea level and the hills were clear. The half-covered city below was particularly stunning. And it was stupid warm today. Like 15 degrees Celsius. Half the people on the hill were wearing T-shirts, and that's it.

Cabin Lake Resident #1

Cabin Lake Resident #1

These little fellas were swimming around Cabin Lake. The best I can do is identify them as some kind of salamander or newt. All I know is they didn't bite, didn't scare away easily, and didn't even really get out of your way when you were walking around on the rocks. What cheek!

Mari and I decided to start off our Canada Day with a small loop around Yew Lake and a quick hike up and down part of the Howe Sound Crest Trail in Cypress Provincial Park. July 1, 2009.

So I had to be up, out and then about at a ridicules hour this morning. Finding my self with time to kill and already being in the xterra. I figured that the best course of action was simply to drive up Cypress and investigate this snow situation.

A very different angle. This one will be a slam dunk for any Vancouverite, but I had to post it. Not an angle most people get to see. Looking up at The Lions from the westernmost point of the Cypress Mountain ski area (inbounds, of course).

Holly in the meadow

Made by Mr. Freek
We were on a break in an alpine meadow and I thought I'd snap a quick capture of Holly. I was curious what the d300 would do with snow and flech tonmes in the same exposure. Hollys bit white in this, but not too bad.

9PM, Panorama run on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver. I used my two ski poles and my face to tripop this long shot. Took a whole lot of trys to get one steady enough. Reminds me of a kids story illustration.

There was a little viewpoint trail not far from Cabin Lake. We weren't quite ready to swim yet so we headed up to take a look and were treated to a view of Howe Sound.

Beautiful opening day at Cypress mountain yesterday. 70cm of fresh snow in the past 48hrs, nice and sunny during the day. Only a few runs were open, but who cares.

Looking down on the city from Cypress Provincial Park vantage point just off the side of the road. Lovely time of day for it. Wish I had my real camera.
