Okanagan Part 3

In my previous post I mentioned walking along the canal, so I'll share some more shots I got while doing so...


One night we went out to an old farm house and barn that were built in the late 1860's.  It was built by the first judge in the area, John Haynes.  At one point his ranch covered just shy of 21,000 acres (which is hard to believe looking at it now).  Sadly it is getting extremely run down and is all fenced off for safety reasons...I don't know how much longer it'll last.  It's too bad that it couldn't be preserved since it's such a major piece of Osoyoos history. 


One thing I wasn't prepared for when I went out to shoot this was the mosquitoes!  They were brutal and started to swarm me as soon as I got out of the car.  Some of my images were completely covered in grey splotches from them diving in front of my lens LOL!  I'm sure I must have looked like I had a disease or something when I got back to the camp site from all the bites I had on my face - it was horrible!  Here's a behind the scenes look at me trying to shoot and stay protected from those nasty blood suckers:


Sigh if you must, but I have to share some "Mini Marmot" (as I call them) pics from Manning Park.  They're just so darn cute!


That's all folks, hope you enjoyed :)
