Farewell Lake

Its spelt Farewell in the map book but a friend we met there
explained its actually named after a prominent
Campbell River family named Farwell

this beautiful lake is hidden from the road by a huge bluff
perfect background for a portrait shot




it also has a great campsite



we had a riot on the giant swing rope



I hit the bank a few times



a great start to a new day



I love the morning sun with my coffee



around the first point is a spot in the sun that is heavenly



its 10 feet deep right up to the rock shore
great for swimming



beavers often come out in the evenings



a friend paddling with the loons



we're ready for another spectacular day



one of the prettiest little islands I've ever seen on a lake



sparkling sun drops on the island



in the center of the picture is where a river flows in
just to the left is an outflow



the bridge just after the lake has been washed out
but now its got a great boardwalk



bright purple cone



enjoying a warm fire on a clear night



and one on a cool morning too



pretty early morning mist



colourful little lilly pad just off shore



great camouflage on this dragonfly



on the far side of the island



not sure what happened to this boat



nothing like dragging your feet in cold water on a hot day



lots of little trout...still looking for a big one here



we always enjoy our time at this fairy tale lake



time to head home after another great trip

  1. Stunning yet again. Wonderful images, so crisp and clear. Interesting to see the water level difference from when Tom and I were there in late August.
