This was our backyard last night. At the last minute we decided to leave the Alaskan Highway and travel south on the Cassiar instead. On the way we passed a small lake with a pair of loons. In the parking area there was a flock of crossbills! I was able to get some pretty good shots of the loons, but the light reflecting off the gravel overpowered the crossbills.

We spent the night at one of the provincial campgrounds. No electricity and only a pump for water but what a view! We pulled into a space next to this lake, put steaks, baked potatoes, and a packet of vegetables to cook on the grill and enjoyed the quiet. The mountaintop across from us would become covered with clouds and then the clouds would lift like a stage curtain to reveal a fresh dusting of snow.
