Fraser River
The Expansion was successful!
But while I was discovering new locations, I did not realize that I had also discovered a new river!
It was 1808 and I was set on exploring more of this river, which I thought was the Columbia River.
Again, my belief was that we were traveling the Columbia River. I wanted to find out if the river could be used as a fur trade route.
I was aware that in order to do this, I needed the assistance and knowledge of the Indigenous Peoples. During my journey down the Fraser(me) River (which I thought was the Columbia River), I was accompanied by over 20 men which included French-Canadian voyageurs, Scottish clerks, Métis hunters, and Indigenous guides. As the expedition passed through First Nations’ territories, I often sent First Nation representatives ahead of the party to inform the local communities of our imminent arrival and to assure them that the our intentions were friendly. The Indigenous groups us with important information, advice, guides, food, and canoes.
So as I made my final and most arduous journey down the river to the Strait of Georgia, I discovered that we were not on the Columbia River. I knew that the mouth of the Columbia was at 46 degrees, but the latitude was at 49. This was an undiscovered river, later named after me. The Fraser River!
However, do not be fooled. It was not quite a happy ending in the moment. It was a bit of an anticlimax. In fact, in my journal I described the discovery as a "great disappointment in not seeing the main ocean, having gone so near it as to be almost within view.”
Not only was it not the mouth of the Columbia, the river I thought we were descending, but me and my men also met a hostile reception from Musqueam warriors, who promptly chased us upstream all the way to what is now the town of Hope.
Awkward...

Inspiration exists, but it must find you working. - Pablo Picasso I did not expect to find the full moon setting through the fog on my walk along the river that morning. I had other photographic ideas in mind, but finding nothing of interest, turned back and almost immediately stopped dead in my tracks. A simple composition - just a few lines and a single shape isolated from an otherwise chaotic background by fog lying low over the water. Inspiration or Luck? I'd like to think the first, but truthfully there is more of the latter in this image. But as someone once said, "The harder I work, the luckier I get". Perhaps Picasso's admonition applies equally to both? . . . . . #createexplore #dowhatyoulove #elearning #FindYourLight #justgoshoot #landscapecaptures #LearnPhotography #onlinelearning #passionpassport #photoeducation #photographyeducation #PhotographyIsArt #PhotographyIsLifee #photographylovers #photographytraining #photographyworkshop #PhotoJourney #PhotoLife #PhotoSchool #PhotoTips #visualsoflife #YouKeepShooting #BPSOP #digitalart #gesture #lightcolorgesture #slowdown #lookcloser #Steveston #FraserRiver — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/WHCKg5z

Fraser River on Highway 97 and points north by northwest
Fraser River on Highway 97 and points north by northwest
Fraser River on Highway 97 Our first week traveling north in British Columbia has been spent along the Fraser River. At an overall distance of around 850 miles, it’s the longest river in the province, stretching the equivalent distance of one-third of the way across America. It takes its name from Simon Fraser, who led an expedition along it in 1808 for the North West Company, a fur trading…

Agassiz Ice Curiosity pulled me out to Agassiz. Ice boulders larger than people lined the rocky shores of the Fraser River. Walking between the massive chunks of ice, there would be a photographer around each bend. Why not. These were a not so common sight. #iceboulders #riverice #fraserriver #agassizbc #mytravellinglens (at Agassiz, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCmXTQPID7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
