Not A Day For Kayaking - Chute Lake KayakLog:11/30/2013

Chute Lake above Naramata BC is rather frozen today with Winter conditions during our visit there. Managed to get some shots in and out of the heavy fog that managed to lift partially so we had a pinch of blue sky peaking through, made for some nice photo effects, then drop again. We could hear the people skating on the frozen lake in the fog. We could see them occasionally break through the thick heavy fog, didn't manage to get any photos of the skaters but did try.

North End Skaha Lake - Kayaking LOG: January 11th 2013

Skaha Lake today was mostly calm. With a temp of about 0c. After a week of snow and overcast skies it was nice to see. I paddled solo on the North end of the lake today. The sky as you can see was awesome, the blue sky was too inviting to pass up.

"Snow to Blue-sky Sunset" Snowshoeing Carmi Road December 29th 2012

When we get new snow sometimes it's just nice to break from kayaking and play in the snow. We drove up Carmi Road in Penticton today and explored some trails via Snow-Shoes. Started off hiking while it snowed then about half way through our hike the blue sky began to break through and managed to get some awesome shots. Part of the video will show Kathy McA gracefully sliding down a hill and taking me out at the bottom. Here are some of the photos, video will be posted at the bottom of this page, ready to watch soon.

We started our hike at START: N49 27.815 W119 27.965 (The starting point is actually on Beverdell Road)

"Sick-It-Up-Buttercup" it's Winter!

North end of Skaha Lake, Penticton

"Kayaks hung on the wall with care.. with hopes that winter would never be there..."
Well we finally may have some winter I think Matt ( http://www.shuswapkayaks.com/ ) LOL
Well had a snowfall all yesterday evening and night. Shovelled the driveways at work at 5am. Finished work at 7am came home with hopes to sleep and shovelled the driveway at home so I could park my car. Now with back pain, cold fingers, running nose and now that I am wide awake might as well relax blog some pics. We had only about 2 to 3" of wet heavy snow this morning. Out where Matt lives he must have about 5 feet by now. The wind here is about 6kmh and the temp is -7.8c according to my little weatherstation by the lake. The lake is only partially frozen near the shore and the snow is still coming down as I type. The mountain across the lake can barely be seen right now. The gray looking water at the horisen almost blends into the bottom of the mountain and as I look up it disapears rightaway into a cloud of snow/fog.
(hmm doesn't appear my spell checker is working.. may be some typo's, sorry)
Hope you all like the pics. and have a great winter's day everyone! =)
