A beautiful morning recently
It was great to see this Meadowhawk the other day basking in the sun. We have been lucky this year, and have had no hard frost yet. But, the nights are getting colder, and these amazing little dragonflies will not survive much longer. I'll keep looking for them though while there are still a few more warm days in the forecast.
I have been outside every day lately taking pictures of the incredible display of colour everywhere. 
This one spent a great deal of time nipping the birch tree seed cones and letting them fall to the ground. For days he could be seen jumping from branch to branch and scurrying about almost in a frenzy. 
One morning, not too long ago, I saw this unusual sight - a mushroom lying upside down on a spruce bough. Squirrel again, this time harvesting mushrooms and puttting them in the sun to dry.
Now, how clever is that?
These were taken just the other day when I noticed some rustling and bending of branches in the saskatoon berry bushes. This little chipmunk wasn't going to let anyone with a camera disturb her berry picking, and I was able to take a couple of zoomed in photos.
Yes, Autumn is well on its way!
Thompson River
The freight train engineers are awfully brave doing their day to day job of driving through this canyon. Far below them is the river.
Our little companion, who is 13 1/2 years old, goes everywhere with us. She's getting on in years but still enjoys all of her walks. On this day we walked a section of an historic wagon road that was used in the 1800s to bring people and freight to the gold fields.
A rest at the top of an incline.
