A day’s in the mountains outside of Squamish, BC brought a wonderful surprise: a lake of the deepest blue framed by the snow-covered mountains. Though it was the middle of July, it was a cool day. My hiking friend and I had brought along thermoses of hot black tea, much appreciated by both of us that day. The scenery was spectacular, the hike somewhat arduous but well worth the effort.
“A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
