Trip to Palouse, Washington |
| September 2023 | Bear Hunting (With Cameras) in Bella Coola Bella Coola is one of the most amazing places in BC to photograph. There is no end to what one can take pictures of - bears, creeks, rain forest, waterfalls, mountains, old cannery, petroglyphs, totem poles....... Since our trip there a few years ago, there have been a lot of requests for us to return to the Bella Coola Valley. To do this trip, the planning needs to start now. We would go mid Sept, 2023 which means we need to be making reservations very soon. The costs would be about $210 for the bear tour down the river, about $50 - $75 for a guide to take us to the petroglyphs plus costs for transportation to get there, accommodations and food. We expect to be gone for 6 nights. Last time some people did not do the last two nights at Tallio Cannery, across the inlet from Bella Coola. There is no guarantee that you will see bears but there is a very good chance. Are you interested in making this trip? Please let Bob Johnson know at [email protected] by November 30. |

About 20 members attended for a most enjoyable afternoon and early evening. The afternoon started with a snowshoe trek to capture some wonderful mountain snow images. Following the snowshoeing we were be able to warm up and have dinner in the Old Lodge Cabin – hot drinks, hot dogs, chips and cookies were be provided. Following dinner, we did some fun light painting and night photography. A great time was had by all. |

A great time was had by all 16 or so members on the Barn Quilts tour of the Armstrong area. Barn Quilts tell stories of historical significance and act as a means of guiding visitors to rural areas and businesses. Canada’s barn quilt tradition first began in Ontario which introduced their first Barn Quilt Trail in 2009. Since then there have been more than 7000 barn quilts decorating the countryside in Canada and the US and the numbers are growing. We are fortunate to have over 50 barn quilts in our region.

The Falkland Stampede outing was enjoyed by all that attended. We look forward to seeing images from there. The Stampede has a long history having started up in 1919, just after WW1 as a community picnic celebration. Today it is it ranks in the top twelve of rodeos in Canada. On this outing there will be opportunities to capture the thrilling rodeo action as the cowboys and cowgirls compete. Prior to the rodeo, the Stampede Parade will travel through Falkland with an abundance of photographic opportunities. So, put on that western attire (if you have any) and join us for this fun outing. |
