On the way home, as the light faded, we spotted this Cinnamon Bear.

The bear was ambling along munching on grass.

SINCE I HAD TO GO TO OSOYOOS SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO PICK UP MY PHOTOS FROM THE ART GALLERY, I DECIDED TO MAKE A BIT OF A ROAD TRIP WITH MY CAMERAS.

There are a few images from Friday mixed in.

We drove up to Vernon and met our daughter, who drove from Salmon Arm, to buy her a birthday lunch.  It was nice to be able to sit and visit with her for an extended time.
