mementos from barkerville

Some conventional, some less conventional photos from our trip to the historic town.

Finally a chance to showcase a bit of my obsession with photographing doors to nowhere...

trailing along

I must shamefully admit that it has been many years since last I rode a horse, fond as I am of them.

We found a ranch just across the lake that offers great trail rides,

though I am much the worse for wear (and rather saddle sore!)

This is Babe (or Babygirl to me) complete with a heart-shaped cutie mark on her forehead!

Weather has been intensely beautiful here on Day Three of Green Lake.

It's a hidden beauty, about a six-hour drive from Vancouver, but well-worth it.

This is our first family trip up this way, and we're loving it.

Sky of blue, crystal waters, and no need to go anywhere, do anything we don't want to.

Ahhhhh.

Tomorrow's agenda: Trailriding!

Lana Del Rey - Born to Die

Bat for Lashes - Pearl's Dream

Sittin' on the dock (of the bay) all coy...watching the sunset

In Green Lake, in B.C.'s rustic Cariboo region.

(not spelled like the animal "Caribou").

There's this great atmosphere up here, some authentic Canadian outdoors.

(I swear I even heard loons calling).

There are lots of wide open spaces to roam, and so, so many ranches.

Seriously, there must be about 10 horses to every human up here.
