Paul Lake Provincial Park

On Sunday, May 13, 2007, I went for a drive to Paul Lake Provincial Park. It was pretty windy and a little cool but it was still nice to be by the mountains and the lake. I really like Paul Lake because it is very peaceful there and serene.

Squirrel

On Sunday, May 6, 2007, I went for a day drive to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park, just outside of Chase, BC. I was watching a different squirrel in a tree just ahead of me and then I saw a shadow right beside me. I was standing about a foot away from this squirrel and didn't hear it at all. If I didn't see the shadow I wouldn't have seen the squirrel.

Mallard Duck

On Sunday, May 6, 2007, I went for a day drive to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park, just outside of Chase, BC. I saw this mallard duck swimming on the Shuswap Lake. I stood on the beach and he swam right past me.

Squirrel

On Sunday, May 6, 2007, I went for a day drive to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park, just outside of Chase, BC. I saw a squirrel climbing this tree. This squirrel was very noisy and he let me know that he was there. He was eating the nuts from a pine cone and they would fall out of his mouth onto the ground.

Old Tree

On Sunday, May 6, 2007, I went for a day drive to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park, just outside of Chase, BC. Shuswap Lake Provincial Park has a lot of really old trees in it. Some of them are very tall too like the one in this picture. This tree is probably 150 years old or more and it is probably sixty feet tall or more.

Osprey

On Sunday, May 6, 2007, I went for a day drive to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park, just outside of Chase, BC. On the way to the park I saw this osprey sitting on her nest. The osprey's nest was situated just before the bridge that takes you to the north side of the Shuswap Lake. This nest was located at the top of a hydro pole. I always watch the top of hydro poles because you never know what you will see.

Batchelor Heights, Kamloops, BC

On Monday, April 30, 2007, it was a nice day so I decided to go for a little drive. I went up the Batchelor Heights Road in Kamloops, BC. It was awesome up there. I never knew it so beautiful. Batchelor Heights is like on the top of a mountain and it is part of Lac De Bois Grassland Park. It is very high up and the view is spectacular as you are able to see the whole city of Kamloops.

I plan on climbing to the very top of the mountain in this photograph someday. It will be my ultimate dream come true because I have always wanted to climb to the very top of a mountain. Even though this mountain is not really all that tall, I will still be able to say that I climbed to the top of it.
