    These are the keystone kokanee salmon who are making their way up the creeks' ladder from Wood and Okanagan lake to spawn. 2 adult bears and 2 cubs in this park are feasting on them, along with the apples in the orchards up the hill.

    Some school classes grow and release these fish, although few survive. Most have field trips to the eco-centre here, which are on-line this year.

    Not sure if this counts as “wildlife” but it is to me. I found this fat caterpillar alive as I was shucking corn for dinner. I re-homed him to a tree. I wonder where he hitched a ride from and if he'll survive long.

    Simply by keeping a bucket of water full outside, we've managed to attract a number of these cute guys.  There were three on the rim of the bucket, but by the time my wife grabbed her smart phone, one had hopped away and one jumped onto the wall.  Love these little guys!

    They’re adorable Brian.  How’re you doing with the smoke and fires right now?  We’re still getting some of the smoke way up here.

    I love 'em!  One of them likes to hang out around the front door steps sometimes at night.  I'm thrilled to see this many this year!

    Sorry to hear it's been smoky up your way.  Any rain coming that way?

    We had the least smokey morning in several weeks today.  The haze built up over the day but definitely better than most days lately.  And we have a bit of a shot at some rain Saturday or Sunday.  Crossing my finger!

    Oops, I guess smoky wasn’t the correct word.  Hazy would be more accurate.  Looks like we’ll be getting some rain for the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend..  yum!  Turkey 🦃 🦃🦃

    Hey, that's OK.  Tonight I'd say I'm smoky and the air is a bit hazy.  Could be the other way around when I wake up in the AM.  :lol: 

    I hope you get that rain. 
    And turkey... mmmmmm, turkey and stuffing and gravy and yams and cranberry and salad and pie, pie, pie!
