I was thankful to have spent the last few days of September camping at our favourite spot, Skimikin Lake (https://www.facebook.com/Skimikin-Forestry-Campsite-567741546646373/ ).   We certainly savoured the warm sunny days and huddled around the campfire as the sun went down.  The scenes around are continually changing with varying light.  I love the reflection of the turning bushes and […]
