Hello Fauquier
I really enjoyed this webpage on Fauquier. I lived there as a child/young teen from 1967-1973. I have many fond memories of growing up in Fauquier. I moved there just after they built the new townsite and the raising of the Arrow Lakes. All of the best

Your eyes can really screening "some scene". The "quiet reading" one is just like an old time painting, it's really nice. Thanks for sharing the great pics.

Hi Rafal,
This article is a far, FAR cry from your "Where's Spring?" articles. Looks like B.C. sends all its snow to Alberta, he, he, he. Seriously though, this is such a SCENIC & tranquil area. Love the flowers against the lush green background. The lake is also quite scenic, such a perfect place for reading. Any plans to moving to B.C.? But anyway, I'm glad you have a taste of a beautiful spring this May.
