Clearwater river valley today. Low clouds teased apart by a gentle cool air drainage from the still snowy northern mountains.

One of the less appreciated features of Moul Falls is the rockfall and hanging bryophyte gardens of the cave. These delicate communities are sensitive to exploring feet and fingers. Take only photos and don’t even leave footprints 😌

Acknowledging the difficult times its good to see some sign that spring is on the way. Here are the first flowers of the season - sagebrush buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus) in Kelowna some 250km south of Wells Gray.

I discovered this rare phenomenon of a snow roller or snow donut on the Adams Lake Road on February 3. These only occur with very specific conditions of moisture, snow and temperature, and in this case gravity having formed by rolling down a steep bank. The closer image shows a pen for scale – it was about 52cm in diameter.

This is a stunning winter waterfall. ❄️

Absolutely thrilling to meet a Grizzly whilst still at a safe distance. A good sign is when they resume normal behaviour - in this case foraging for small mammals.
