Canada's beautiful British Columbia

by GHorn

Osoyoos and surrounding areas in the southern most part of British Columbia Canada;this is my home.

A place where the puzzle pieces all come together and fit perfectly. My husband and I are outdoor photographers and through no fault of mine; it appears that I have become a landscape specialist. We travel hundreds of kilometers each week and always off road and in the back country. We are rewarded with so much raw beauty and wildlife.. it simply is one of the most pristine places on this continent.

But it needs protecting, one ... (more)

Truly Super Natural B.C.!!!
Gorgeous pictures, my husband and I have travelled through the area and find it remarkable. I love where the highway winds up above Osoyoos and you can look down onto the pretty town! We love travelling this province and recently moved to Cranbrook from Saskatchewan to make travel that much easier. Thanks for sharing!
