I'm posting some pictures from a trip this week to Vancouver visiting my daughter, starting with mountains.

Mount Robson is the highest in the Canadian Rockies, towering 12,972 feet (3954 m)

I found a Mountain Goat! Camera Canon S2IS

Question about LED light

Hi Tanie, Those grow leds give a reddish purple light not nice for your living room, but great for your plants. It looks like they are not that bright but our eyes are not so sensitive for those colors. My suggestion is to combine some grow lights with one (or more) white led to make the light more nice for the human eye. I build the grow light myself so I can tune the ratio of blue to red, blue is more for growing and red for flowering. The days are short at the moment and some are cloudy so 12-> 14 hours artificial light is a great help for your plants to stay healthy. And yes I have been hiking in your neighborhood. Up Ha ling peak, Mt Rundlle, and peaks in the Kananaskis, Banf, Jasper , Yoho, Kootenay, Glacier (Rogers Pass) and Robson park, made even the hike up to Berglake (about 40km up and back) in one day, I did only day hikes. The highest hike was up Mt Sunwapta (3300 m) air become pretty thin for a Dutchman but I made it Greetings and Success with your orchids This post was edited by scorpio_bafh on Wed, Nov 12, 14 at 6:11

You all don't know how much I adore these little guys!!!!! I've been out of the orchid world loop. To me tolumnia is a surprise renaming for this little (once upon a time oncidium) orchid. Odontoglossum (another favorite patterned flower) is another surprise change. Tollumnia has a nice ring to it. I stopped buying them because I couldn't get the culture / watering balance quite right. Too hot and dry and I don't have a greenhouse to control humidity. I didn't have the heart to condemn anymore. I am living vicariously through this thread. Nick and Arthur your little gems are SO cute and beautiful. Shavedmonkey, that's a definite photogenic beauty.

One of five actors and five actresses depicted on a silver souvenir spoon from the 1892 Actors Fund Fair in NYC. My grandmother, an opera singer, attended. I think the detail is amazing. All of the faces have distinct expressions.

Thank you all!
There are tons of pictures one could take when the whether
cooperates,....and it did, but unfortunately we couldn't stop
too many times, due to time limit.
Here are some along the way, not sure the name of the lake.

Nice pictures. I like the name of the Mountain. My maiden name is Robson. My father did a genealogy check and we have relatives in Canada.

Konrad,

Wonderful photos!! Makes me want to start hiking again. Many places in the Washington Cascades look like that. Clear mountain lakes and streams.

Lianne, Thank you, but konrad took the photos. :-)

Wow, breath taking. Thanks for telling us which camera you used. Do you have a polarizer for that camera? You sky color looks are so nice.

These are really beautiful. I love the driftwood and fireweed in the foreground of the last one, but they're all beautiful! Reminds me of Glacier/Waterton Park.
