Factotum Photography

Another image from my first hike of 2020, shot in the Lac du Bois grasslands that border Kamloops' north-shore neighbourhoods. I don't know if it's the sense of waning light / deepening shadows in the foreground or the sunset colours reflected by the distant clouds in the background but something about this cluster of stones and sagebrush feels both ancient and timeless to me. #KamloopsBC #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #naturestudy #sagebrush #fieldstones #moss #timeless #winter #sunset #ThompsonOkanagan #geoligy #hiking #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada

Another shot revisitibg my first hike of 2020 last January. Here's hoping I can squeeze in one more expedition before year's end! #KamloopsBC #winter #landscapephotography #semiarid #desert #hiking #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon

Every ending is a beginning: Captured this hilltop view of sunset a year ago January, because it speaks (loudly!) to my wanderlust. #KamloopsBC #hiking #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #winter #sunset #hike #endingsarebeginnings

A glowing sunset shot after last winter's first snowfall in Kamloops. Those red winter berries and background clouds look so warm against the fading cool blue sky! #KamloopsBC #firstsnowfall #redberries #winter #sunset #warm #glow #coolblue #waninglight #semiarid #desert #vegetation #neighbourhoodwalk #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon

Test shot on location during one of the winter solstice shoots at Tranquille Creek last year. Judging by what I've seen so far, I will have to scout further north and/or south to find similar settings outside of Cache Creek. #CacheCreek #photographer #hiking #TranquilleCreek #KamloopsBC #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #winter #landscape #lightlyforested #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon

Desert mess, at Cinnamon Ridge. #KamloopsBC #CinnamonRidge #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #landscape #roots #ravine #hiking #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon

Picking up where my previous post left off, this is where the ravine running down through Cinnamon Ridge has either cut a path through the surrounding rock. #KamloopsBC #CinnamonRidge #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #rockface #hoodoos #erosion #ravine #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon

A notable feature at Cinnamon Ridge is the break in the hoodoo (sandstone?) rock through which the ravine passes. #KamloopsBC #CinnamonRidge #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #landscape #hoodoos #hiking #ravine #erosion #geology #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon

It's another overcast, snowy day here in the Thompson-Nicola region of British Columbia; so, I'm starting the day with a nostalgic burst of summer sun from a past hike at Cinnamon Ridge. #KamloopsBC #CinnamonRidge #LacduBois #grasslands #protectedarea #BCparks #semiarid #desert #hiking #naturestudy #texturestudy #ravine #rockface #geology #summer #sunlight #Kamloops #BritishColumbia #Canada #Nikon
