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.

Lac De Bois Grassland Park

On Sunday, April 1, 2006, I saw this train going across the field near Lac De Bois Grassland Park. I love watching trains going through the mountains. It is so cool. This is the true western frontier!

Lac De Bois Grassland Park

On Sunday, March 19, 2006, I went for a drive at Lac De Bois Grassland Park, Kamloops, BC. It was a warm March morning and the sun was shining. I first stopped at the Mara Mountain Public Viewing Trail at took a nice walk on the well-kept trail. It was awesome walking through the sage brush. There was a log bridge that took me over the creek and then I continued my walk. After my walk I drove a little further on the Tranquille Road and was amazed at what I saw. I saw 30 mountain sheep! One was on the side of the road but the others were grazing in the field or sunning themselves on the rocks.

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.

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.
