The Tiger Lily

While on a soul searching mission one Sunday afternoon I ran across this beautiful Tiger Lily nessled amoungst the spruce stands on a mountain not far from where I live. Not only did I find what I was looking for on my soul searching mission but I also found the beauty of a plant that reminds me of a very beautiful and caring woman I know and just how fragile both are.

Kootenay Lake from Kaslo, known for it's world famous Gerrard Rainbow Trout. The Purcell Mountains rise steeply to the east, giving a person some fantastic views of snow capped peaks.

Mtn Cooper, behind Meadow Mountain is one of the higher peaks in the West Kootenays, but is well hidden if one does'nt know to where to look for it.

Meadow Mountain and the Duncan Flats

Meadow Mountain in the background is littered with recent logging cut-blocks logged by SFP and old ones of KFP. The snow capped peaks as well as lower portions are skied. The Duncan Flats ( center of photo ) at the head of Kootenay Lake are used by wildlife as a sanctuary.

Elk and mule deer forage beneath the Aspens and adjacent firs stands in the early spring once the snow has melted.

Fir

Just a photo of a hillside that has'nt been totally logged off or had a forest fire burn through it like the opposite side of the lake, where a fire burnt off the forest in 1985 and in the distance clears cuts above Lardeau.

Salmo-Creston Skyway

Winter at the top of the Salmo-Creston Skyway. It was clear and -20.

Fry Creek

Fry Creek. On my way back from Nelson and I noticed that you could look up Fry Creek, which at the best of times you can't in the winter. The peninsula is owned by a religious group. The Fry Canyon is a Recreation Area. Beyond that you enter the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Park.

The Ponderosa Pine

On one of my walks I came apon this Ponderosa Pine. I remember them as a kid and they are just as big as I remember them twenty years ago
