Unusual spots in the Okanagan



Here in the Okanagan, we expect to see mountains and lakes, wineries and beaches, pine trees and sage brush but occasionally we find a spot which is unexpected. If you take a walk up Mission Creek on Phase 2 of the Greenway, you will go up through a canyon with very interesting rock formations and a variety of vegetation.

This spring, I took the opportunity to paint this canyon. The colours were the fresh greens of spring contrasting the ochres and siennas of the rock faces.
I always enjoy seeking out the unusual corners of our valley. If you know of an unusual place, please let me know by adding a comment to this post.
