i'm a mountain

Photos from our annual trek to the BC Interior.

As a bonus, this year we went up to Kelowna, and the Columbia Icefields for the first time in 5 years.

The weather was beautiful all the way, although it was colder than I remembered near the Glacier.

The second photo from top is from Field, where we had a picnic lunch.

The third photo is the view driving up to Kicking Horse resort in Golden.

You can't tell that there's a town down there.

Plus, the view's even better from the top.

More photos of our roadtrip, mostly from or the way to the Columbia Icefields.

It may be mid-July, but it being a windy day all the cold was blown down from the Athabasca Glacier.

I'm actually wearing wool socks and my winter coat, a far cry from only hours earlier in Field (top photo).

who swap shuswap?

Greetings from the interior! Here's a lovely sunset over Shuswap Lake for you guys. We're enjoying typical summer weather up here in the valley - a mixture of scorching heat and the odd, confused spots of rain that last about five minutes.

We stopped in Vancouver on the way up here, where I picked up this printed TNA tote. Makes for a perfect on-the-road carry-all; I've got all four of my cameras in there, with room to spare.

Happy July!
