Cactus

On March 22, 2007, I was given my second cactus plant and I absolutely adore it. Now, I must definitely be living in the wild, wild west because when asked what kind of plant I would like to have, I said cactus. I have heard other people want an Easter lily or a spider plant but not me. There was only one plant for me.

South Thompson River, Kamloops, BC

On March 14, 2007, I took a walk along the beach at the South Thompson River. You can see that there was a lot of clouds that day but it looks like there were clear skies to the east. It was a little nippy out but it wasn't all that cold considering it was only the middle of March. I love visiting the beach. It is a nice place to go for a walk and think about life.

Mule Deer

On March 11, 2007, I was amazed at the number of mule deer that I saw. There were three on one side of the road, three on the other side of the road and this one all by himself. This mule deer sat watching me while I took his picture. He had his head turned right around to see what I was doing.

Mountain Sheep

On March 11, 2007, I saw a herd of mountain sheep at Lac De Bois Grassland Park, Kamloops, BC. These mountain sheep are actually young ones because they have smaller horns. These ones were standing right beside the road and it looks like the one on the right was enjoying eating his grass.

Bald Eagle

On March 7, 2007, I saw my bald eagle sitting in this tree. There are two trees in this location across from Valleyview Square, Kamloops, BC, that my bald eagle sits in. This particular day he decided to sit in the smaller of the two trees. Normally, he sits in the taller one. I am very lucky to be able to see this eagle frequently and I have been kind of watching him and his every move and it is pretty awesome.

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.
