The @29029everesting in Whistler had all of the colours of the rainbow — including an actual rainbow that showed up for a while 🌈

There's nothing quite like climbing over 1000m through an old growth rainforest in autumn to really give you a tour of all the seasons colours.

On the last night of the canoe trip, camped on an island on Dogtooth Lake, we sat and watched a production line of cumulonimbus roll across the sky.

Storm cloud after storm cloud built, climbing higher and higher into the atmosphere and looking inexplicably delicious and fluffy, before rampaging across to the east to cause havoc.

As the sun dropped lower, they started glowing the most unlikely shades of fluorescent orange and neon pink, before dark finally fell and I remembered about the mosquitoes.

Misty morning on Ethelma Lake.

There have been plenty of mornings this summer where we've tried to convince ourselves that the thick wildfire smoke is mist. This time around it was actually mist. Smells much nicer, 10/10 love a good misty morning.

On one portage I saw a squirrel sitting in a tree

On one portage I saw a squirrel sitting in a tree casually eating a mushroom. Just above me in a tree to the side of a trail, he was gripping the stem in his tiny squirrel paws, the mushroom delicately held upside down as he nibbled from the base. He disappeared the second I reached for my camera though.

This has absolutely nothing to do with these photos of fishing, or with the delicious fish lunch we had that one day.

"I love this beach, this is the best kind of beach

"I love this beach, this is the best kind of beach. It's rocky and steep enough that you can jump straight in the water." Who needs a sandy beach when you have rocks you can jump off?

Jumping into warm water was a definite highlight of the canoe trip. The leeches did not make it to the list of highlights, but thankfully we mostly dodged them.

One morning we're camped on Porcus Lake, breakfast

One morning we're camped on Porcus Lake, breakfasting, and starting to pack up and load the boats. And the clouds start to look threatening. And then more threatening. So then we start unloading the canoes, pull out our waterproof gear, and begin the talk about options as the rain starts to fall.

Within minutes we're huddling under a hastily erected tarp as the rain gets heavier. Lightning cracks and booms nearby and the kids drink the water streaming off the edge of the tarp.

Eventually, the gaps between the thunder claps lengthen and the rain lightens. We tentatively go and bail out the boats and start preparing to leave. But then the handful of white caps on the lake multiply, and suddenly the canoes are being tossed around - we quickly pull them onshore again, and wait for the wind to die down.

When we finally set off in light rain, it takes only a few minutes for the sun to come out and the wind to disappear. Then the birds are singing, the lake is calm, and it's like nothing ever happened.
