| Graves Creek Solo Trip July 2017 |
|
| Eric and I took trips up here together in May
and June, even glimpsing a bear and a moose on one trip. The scenery
was so pretty I wanted to see it again. I took a solo trip up Graves
Creek road in early July with my camera and had a great day. I am
sad to report that starting in early August, this area was hit hard by
wildfires. I haven't yet seen how it looks since the fires, but I'm
sure it won't be like this again for many, many years. |

Looking out over Graves Creek from the road |
|
A strip of asphalt on the steep edge of the road with nothing much under it - scary! |
 |
| Have I mentioned that I'm slightly obsessed with bear grass? It is a fact. | |
 |
 |
|
Bear grass, bear grass, and more bear grass... it's all beautiful to me! |

 |
Here the bear grass flows down this old slide almost like water |
| This is showing how it is growing all along the road. | |
And yes, I do like other flowers too. |
 |
| I also like birds, isn't this yellow guy a beauty? | |

 |
| This was an especially prolific year for bear grass, it was so thick! | On the way out, looking at what I think is a Canola field into the hills that would soon burn. |
