magical skies and stillness at Unna Lake

following the moose trail, through sharp Equisetum


we had the entire lake to ourselves

and it was glorious...

morning mist

morning moon

early to rise
dad used the pan instead...  
Will has a go at his first Bannock, which got a bit droopy to say the least

skipping rocks at the falls

slanting with the rocks
we hardly made it to the falls at all... the path through the forest was EXPLODING with wild blueberries!

a bit stern heavy... 
and a bit bow heavy...

the bowron river carried us in





contemplation 

cow parsnip

geology lesson

it is called Devil's club (Oplopanax horridusfor a reason. 

rainforest


nature is magic.


fruiting Devil's club

Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus)

we picked enough for pancakes and bannock



discovering new plants... creeping snowberry 
(Gaultheria hispidula)

transition from Isaac to Lanezi













the cariboo river confluence - crystal clear waters mixed with freezing glacial runoff  


murky waters and dark skies, rain falling in the distance
 




caribou river


murky reflections

"the jesus cloud" 



we were wondering why they were so slow... a lovely lake mosey


morning magic mist

she didn't catch one here, but she did catch the only fish
morning acrobatics and stretching

my amazing mum is still a talented cheerleader!

fun on the beach

onward!
