Botany Photo of the Day
In science, beauty. In beauty, science. Daily.

Lower Second Lake

Lower Second Lake

A contribution to two photographic series in one photograph today. The scene is from British Columbia, and is part of the unplanned native plants of British Columbia series. Also, it's part of a now-annual reflection and remembrance series, beginning with last year's November 11 BPotD of Jasper National Park.

I appreciate very much your decision to highlight Canadian plants and scenes on Remembrance Day. This image has soothed and saddened me. Thank you.

Connie commented:

What a beautiful tapestry. The story goes that we cannot see the overall picture rendered with our interwoven lives until we see it from the other side.

annie Morgan commented:

Very beautiful indeed.

Ann Kent commented:

Thank you. My daughter and I spent many hours on the Kane Valley lakes when she was young - fly casting, paddling our canoe, curling up in warm sleeping bags at night to listen to the loons call down the chain of lakes. Our passion for native habitat is directly attributable to my father, her grandfather, a veteran of World War II, who found his solace in wild places and who taught us to observe, quietly and with great patience the flora and the fauna around us.

Carol Fuegi commented:

Today's image brings back wonderful memories of this area of rolling hills and tranquil lakes, where I have spent many wonderful weeks. The back road that travels around the chain of lakes, and the nearby provincial park (Kentucky-Alleyne) with its turquoise lakes)are my favorite places in BC.
