My brother was in town for a week, which was nice because it gave me a chance to play tour operator for a beautiful part of Canada that I often forget is in my backyard. We drove up the Sea to Sky highway to Squamish, had a picnic at Shannon Falls, drove to Brackendale and looked at the Tantalus mountain range, then drove to Murrin Park for a hike. Pictures were taken with both my iPhone4S and Nikon D40. They’re a little blue because many of them were optimized for iPhone viewing.

There’s still snow in many places, even in the lower elevations, which creates these pure water runoffs.

Browning is a shallow lake, which is why it has a beautiful green hue.
