April 29th 2011. April 28th 2011. April 28th 2011. April 27th 2011. April 27th 2011. Binta Lake fire. South/east of Francois. Aug 2010.
Chisholm Lake fire. Aug 2010. Last of the winter ice on Francois Lake. A break in the ice with open water. Winter is finally winding down. The sun peeking through a cold mist. Francois Lake frozen over.
Oct 29th - first snow and last thoughts of summer. Sunset as viewed from my front deck last night. Is that romantic or what? September and the return of the fall winds on Francois Lake. Another forest fire on the edge of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park to the south. Wild Saskatoon Berry bushes are loaded with ripe berries waiting to be picked. Thick forest fire smoke obscuring the sun.
Smoke filling the western end of the Francois Lake valley from new wild fires on Nadina Mountain. Forest fire just south of Francois Lake started by lightening. Rainbow over Francois Lake following a welcome rain fall. Inland Forester, marine ferry provides free year-round vehicle traffic across Francois Lake. Francois Lake is clear and cold. The rocky bottom can be seen a long way down. Bright sunny day on Francois Lake. Note Mount Wells & Mount Tweedsmuir snow-caps.
It is that time of year - the Morel Mushrooms spring forth. The colour is slowly returning to the country side. There may be skims of ice on the lake but the humming birds are back!! Ice breaking up on Francois Lake April 21, 2009. Nothing holds back the ice in spring, not even our wharf. North slope of Nadina Mountain west end of Francois Lake.
South slope of Nadina Mountain west end of Francois Lake. Arial view of southside ferry dock on Francois Lake showing broken ice flows. Canada Geese enjoying a rest near ferry landing. Positive spring indication. Winter is not finished with us yet! Dawning of a nice looking day. Waiting for spring to come.
