My favourite destination on a hike is an alpine meadow. In 2020 I had the pleasure of joining friends and family on a hike to Cameron Ridge in the Cariboo. The ridge overlooks Penfold Creek and Mitchell River, which both drain into the North Arm of Quesnel Lake. Even though we were hiking in the second week of August, the alpine flowers in vibrant reds, yellows, and mauves were still in full bloom. I couldn’t resist taking several photos of the gorgeous scenery before me. I was certain at some point I would paint this peaceful alpine meadow with the meandering paths of the creek and river below as they lazily curved and snaked their way to the lake. A feast for the eyes and music for the soul.
