These stumps always look like faces to me. The grooves were cut to place boards for the loggers to stand on as they sawed through metre upon metre of tree.

Careful
Final photo from the hike: an information sign about how to take care of the alpine. Great advice!

Garibaldi Lake
This August I have spent more time hiking than wandering the city, which is why yet again there are photos from the region and not New Westminster proper.
The spring is so late in the alpine that this lake only thawed in the past 10 days or so. That snow over there won't melt before the next snowfall. In the alpine meadow, most wildflowers have not yet started blooming.

Monolith
Stawamus Chief, Squamish. A granite monolith that some say is the second largest in the world. There's rock climbing up this face, and a walking trail at the back. This is one view of the Chief, taken from the patio of the Howe Sound Brew Pub in Squamish.
