Redheaded Woodpecker

On February 26, 2007, I went for a drive to see some wildlife out at Lac De Bois Grassland Park and I was lucky enough to see this redheaded woodpecker. He was pecking holes in this hydro pole. I was able to get quite close to him and he didn't seem to mind me taking his picture. I've seen a couple of redheaded woodpeckers in my lifetime. One was when I was living in Sharbot Lake, Ontario and another one that I saw was while I was camping at Paul Lake Provincial Park last year. This is the closest I have ever been able to get to one.

Mountain Sheep

On February 26, 2007, I went for a drive to see some wildlife out at Lac De Bois Grassland Park. There was a herd of mountain sheep in this field. It looks like they were enjoying themselves grazing. It was warm in the city of Kamloops, but up in Lac De Bois Grassland Park, it was pretty cold. The cold weather didn't seem to bother them.

Train

There is nothing like seeing a against a backdrop of mountains. It just feels so western. I saw this train stopped along the side of the Trans Canada Highway just east of Kamloops, BC.

North Thompson River

I recently took a drive on Highway 5 north in British Columbia, Canada. This is a picture of the North Thompson River which runs north of Kamloops, BC. The river twists and winds itself along the highway and there are many places along it that you can stop and view it.

Rivers Trail

On Sunday, March 12, 2006, I went for a walk on Rivers Trail, Kamloops, BC. It was a beautiful day for a walk. The sun was shining and there were quite a few people enjoying walking, jogging and biking along the trail. There were also quite a few animals out enjoying the sun. I ran across this groundhog sitting just outside of this den. He sat there for quite awhile until he finally went back inside.

Sun Peaks

I took this picture of a daffodil while on a recent visit to Sun Peaks Resort, Kamloops, BC. A daffodil is a sure sign that spring is in the air.
