I look forward to creating with you!
Down at our favourite little river spot I’m always finding these beautiful deposits of minerals in all different colors.
Figured I would collect some today for crushing into pigments.
Most of them are already so crumbly it wouldn’t take much effort.
A bit of black, red, and yellow hues. All so natural and earthy.
Even found some gold flakes that probably aren’t gold, but they sure shimmer when you spread them out.
Might use them to for gold leaf highlights if I can get enough of it.
My mind is racing with ideas…
I wonder what I’ll end up making with it :)…
I need more roadtrips in my life.
Whether its a week or a month it’s never long enough!
There’s nothing like packing up those few essential belongings, and realizing just how much stuff you own that isn’t needed for your happiness.
As long as I got my loved ones, my dog, and clothes on my back then freedom is the bird.
We went from one end of the Okanagan to the other. I know of a few private camps after living there for ten years.
Its always one of my favourite places to go back to.
Joyce lake was definitely on the list. Just a small little spot out by Falkland. If you blink you’ll miss it, but its perfect to get some fishing in.
The horseflies are terrible, and there were thousands of tadpoles all over the edges of the water, but as soon as we put a hook out we got a big beautiful trout.
After that we headed over to Mabel Lake in Kingfisher, and rented a boat from the Rivermouth Marina.
New owners from last time we went, but still just as fun.
The water at Mabel is so clear, and there are shallows everywhere. Perfect place for a big adventure with a toddler for sure.
We held fort for a few nights at Mabel Lake Farms where there was a nice cold river next to it, and did some gold panning.
Didn’t find anything, but it was a nice way to spend a hot day for sure.
..and their blueberry pepper jelly is so yum!
I also promised our son a giant waterfall so Margaret Falls was a must.
Such a gorgeous hike in. About 1 km both ways. If you ever head up past Salmon Arm be sure to check it out!
To end the week we went to a local lake I had always heard tons about, but never actually visited.
Hidden lake, and boy was it beautiful.
Very clear water for such a small lake without any creeks, and warm.
It was the kind of water you could wake up, and jump right into first thing in the morning.
I’m going to miss those lakes.
If I could spend a whole summer like this I would. I need more roadtrips…
Now its back to work and the regular hustle of life.
Ahhhh… till next year.
