Clouds Around the Mountain

This is what greeted us one morning while on our camping holiday in British Columbia's southern interior. It was a bit damp and cool, but fortunately for us, we were in a cozy camper and not a tent. The gloomy and lowered sky lasted for most of the day, and then we had nice weather. I didn't mind the clouds too much. It was fascinating to watch them move over the mountains, and we couldn't have had a better vantage point for viewing nature's splendor. The campground is situated on a hill and overlooks the highway, river and railroads.

Canyon Railroad

The freight train engineers are awfully brave doing their day to day job of driving through this canyon. Far below them is the river.

Trekking Canine

These photos were taken during a recent camping trip.

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.
