   I have been editing some more of my photo backlog and came across this photograph of Harrison Lake from 2009. This was one of those years with great fall foliage colours in the Fraser Valley. The leaves you see here are mostly Bigleaf Maples (Acer macrophyllum) which often turn a yellowish brown but on this occasion had great oranges and yellows (somewhat accentuated by the sunset light). I made this image in the Green Point Day Use Area of Sasquatch Provincial Park on the shore of Harrison Lake just outside Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia. I don’t know anything about this particular waterfront property, but it does appear they have a great view!

For more of my photography from this area visit my Fraser Valley Gallery in the Image Library.

   Last night I was in the Eastern Fraser Valley near Hope, British Columbia. My destination was Silver Lake Provincial Park. Years ago I stopped here after a storm had rolled through and managed to photograph a great reflection on the lake. Last night I was hoping that conditions would let me try this again, with a bit more exploration of the area. I was not disappointed, though there weren’t many clouds to make the sky a bit more interesting. The reflections were great, though the amount of fish jumping occasionally messed up the stillness of the water! The trees reflected in Silver Lake are Bigleaf Maples (Acer macrophyllum) and Vine Maples (Acer circinatum). It is a bit early for such Fall colours, but with the amount of dry weather this area has had for the last few months, it seems some of the trees are packing it in early.

More of my photos from this park can be found in my Silver Lake Provincial Park Gallery.
