Paul Lake Road

I went for a drive this past Sunday on the Paul Lake Road, Kamloops, BC. This is a plateau. It almost looks like someone had sliced the top of a mountain. There are several plateaus in the Kamloops area.

Kelowna International Airport

This is a picture of an airplane that I took on February 11, 2006 while driving through Kelowna, BC. This plane was just coming in for a landing at the Kelowna International Airport.

Little Fort, British Columbia

This river is located at a roadside rest stop in Little Fort, BC. You can see that the water is flowing quite fast here. You would definitely want to make sure your children do not get too close to the edge.

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.

Spiral Tunnels

On my travels through British Columbia, Canada, I stopped at the Spiral Tunnels. Not only is it a beautiful sight to see with the majestic mountains and tall trees but it is awesome to see the train curling around itself through the tunnels.

Prairie Dog

Well, since today is Groundhog Day, I thought I would post a picture of a groundhog in my photo album. This is the closest picture I have to a groundhog. This is actually a prairie dog. You will find prairie dogs in Alberta, Canada which is a prairie province. I had a lot of fun with this little guy. He would pop down his hole and then pop up out of another one. I followed him around for quite some time with my camera.

Trail, BC

I visited Trail, BC in the summer of 2004. I was mesmerized by the Columbia River and the beauty of the Kootenay mountains. Trail, BC has a place in my heart that is never going to go away.

Coming into Trail from the East Kootenay pass, we saw a mountain sheep standing in the middle of the road. He just stood there and if you wanted to get by him, he wasn't going to move but you had to go around him.

I remember it was 40 degrees Celsius when we arrived in Trail. I can also remember being able to sit by the Columbia River at 10:00 pm at night and enjoying the evening because there was not a mosquito to be found. Coming from Ontario, Canada, mosquitoes always swarm you to death and make it miserable. However, this did not happen in Trail. No mosquitoes! It was heaven!

We camped at the Beaver Creek Campground. It is situated on the eastern shore of the Columbia River. This campground is clean and quiet and we pretty much had the whole campground to ourselves for the few days that we spent there.

The first day that we were camping, we saw a bald eagle fly right over our heads. That bald eagle was the very first wild bald eagle that I had ever seen in my life and it is burned into my memory forever.

I would recommend Trail, BC to anyone that wants to discover the Kootenay mountain range in British Columbia, Canada.
