A June Day In Osoyoos BC

This morning on my morning walk I took the camera. Here is what I saw. 

Two young men relaxing in their fishing boat. I hope they caught one!

Cherry trees are covered with the new crop of many coloured cherries .

Adventurers From Germany

       It is very gratifying to meet young people who are adventurous. It reminded me of when I hiked throughout Europe during the early 1960's with my two friends. Many times we were welcomed into homes and were well looked after. 

     This morning I was out for my walk along Osoyoos Lake in the NK'Mip Campgrounds. A van caught my eye and I had to stop to talk to a young lady sitting at the camp table. 

     It excited me to engage in a conversation. As I continued on my walk I thought I needed to get picture of the van and invite the two young ladies for breakfast. It gave Randal and I an opportunity to host them and learned so much from our guest from Germany  

Thank you Kesten and Julie for spending the morning with us. 

Springtime at NK'Mip RV Resort and Campground

Wow! This is Randal and my first springtime here is the NK'Mip RV Resort and Campground.  

Every time I go for a walk I see many different things. 

There has been flooding which had closed down many of the camp sites. 

Sand bagging is in full action. 

The boat launch is closed until further notice.

The cactus are in full bloom

A family of ducks were enjoying the sunshine

Each weekend there has been different groups arriving. 

Last week there were over 150 Escape Campers 

This past weekend a few show and shine owners graced the resort.

Last night there was a spectacular rainbow

 I met Randal out for his walk and taking pictures. 

I think we are going to enjoy calling this place our home.

Maryfrancis Barbisan greeted everyone who arrived at the door by offering special drinks.

A guest book was filled with warm and thoughtful comments to Kerry and Lynne Hilderman, owners of Britannia Bodywork & Wellness Centre.

Kerry and Lynne welcomed everyone with an emotional greeting of appreciation and thanks for the many years of staff and client devotion to the their business. Their expressed their gratitude of having the opportunity to help in the maintenance of each and everyone's health and well-being.

A big Thank You to Lynne and Kerry for being there with open hearts and caring for so many who have passed through the doors of Britannia Bodywork & Wellness Centre.

It gives me pleasure as a clients to write this blog.

Blossoms in Osoyoos

The weather for most of the spring has been cool and rainy here is Osoyoos. The word from the locals is that the fruit trees are three weeks behind in blossoming.  

We saw only mist, low clouds and, of course, drizzle and heavy rain. 

The rain brought out the earth worms and snails. 

The water is running off the mountains covering the walking path along the vineyard.  

It was a clear and calm morning this morning so I was out early for my walk, with my camera in hand. My goal was to capture the new blossoms along 45th Street leading to NK'Mip RV Resort and Campground. Pink flowers are starting to appear in the orchards. 

After an active winter Randal and I have settled in for the summer months.
We are saying good bye to our Snow Bird friends and are looking forward to seeing the summer crowd.

                         We still have the  insulation to take off the trailer.
