last night we had a storm with wind and quite heavy rain, but today all is well, the temps. have dropped to the low 20s. and there is a bit of cloud around, good weather for our last day of exploring the valley.
This pic. taken yesterday morning as we walked along the river, I tried every thing to get this fellow to turn round but to no avail, so in the end we have a shot of his rear end.
Just love these signs.
This is the end of the canalised part of the river as it runs through Oliver, they are undoing a lot of the old work done on controlling the river and trying to get some of the wetlands back.
This land on the right is part of the flood zone, I took this pic. because we intend to come back to the Okanagan in the spring. It will be interesting to see what it will look like after the snow has melted.
Back to today, this morning the tree men were in the park trimming the Willows.
A visit to balancing rock
This old farm building and others on the farm have been declaired heritage buildings and are going to be rescued.
The old and the new.
A lot of work to restore these old buildings.
Ospreys.
Two pics. not the same bird, the top one taken driving south to wards Osoyoos, it had just caught a fish, you can just see it under its claw. The bottom pic. was taken on the way back facing north it also has something in its claws, not sure what it is.
Lake Osoyoos.
The wetlands between Oliver and Osoyoos, the Okanagan River is allowed to find its own way here.
Last view of The Okanagan Valley - Rocks, vines, orchards.
