Mount Baldy is the closest ski hill to Oliver and it makes for a great circle trip to go up from Oliver and return home via Highway 3 through Osoyoos. We took some lunch and wandered our way through yesterday under gorgeous sunny skies. Western Larch is a deciduous evergreen in that it has needles but they drop every fall. Larch is also commonly called Tamarack.
On my walk up the river n Friday to photograph the the Sockeye, I spotted this coyote across the river from me. He mostly had his back to me and then wasn't too cooperative. If you look closely though, you can see his eyes. Don't forget to click on the image to enlarge.
On Friday I took one of my big cameras for a walk up the river to see if I could capture some of the Sockeye Salmon that are trying to spawn in their home waters. I sat on a rock for quite a while and took a lot of shots in order to get a few keepers. Always fun to watch nature happening.
Aileen and I took the RZR for a ride up through this area yesterday and it certainly doesn't look like this now. The rain and wind have wreaked havoc on the leaves. They're so fleeting!
