Once again we woke up to a blanket of snow on Saturday December 12, 2015. It was just gorgeous out with the new snow and we decided to take a drive out on the Morice River road outside of Houston, British Columbia.
The trees were covered in white, it was as if someone dropped blobs of white paint onto the branches of the trees. Although the sky was dark and overcast, the brilliance from the snow made for a wonderful picture.

Living in small town Houston can be so rewarding as you never have to go far to be alone in the wilderness. Like today, we drove approximately 30 kilometers out on the Morice River road and we saw maybe 5 vehicles. When taking the photos I stood listening to the river off into the distance and there was this calm over the entire area.

So when it comes to big city life, I love to visit, but I always set my sights on the road that leads me back to my home in small town Houston.

The Morice River is the outflow of Morice Lake south west of Houston, British Columbia, Canada. Morice Lake and Morice River are named after Father Adrien-Gabriel Morice Geographic Name details The Morice has many small creeks joining it along its length, but retains the clear glacial hue for its length.

The Morice river continues on to the town of Houston at which point the river is joined by a small tributary river called "The Little Bulkley" and the two rivers joined become the Bulkley River.
They become the Bulkley, not the Morice despite the fact the Morice is larger. This was done by Poudrier, a government cartographer whom, it is rumoured, never saw the region.
