January 5
I will start my travel soon, but at this point I am still at home in Kamloops BC, Canada. Yes, I do have a home! Even though I am only here a few months a year, it is my official residence and I call it home.
Kamloops is an interesting place in the center of our province; it is a valley between the coastal mountain range and the Rocky Mountains. It is one of the largest cities in the interior of BC, with a population of 75,000 people. (I am guessing a bit here). It is a beautiful area to live in and the pace of life is just right.
This is the North Thompson River you see in the picture and it meets the South Thompson River in the downtown section of the city.
A very good friend of mine, Rick took a few images one morning when they were on the river just below my house.
These next images were in my back yard. The carving you see used to be very large pine trees, some over 100 years old. Unfortunately we have a problem here with pine beetles and it is killing thousands and thousands of trees. I happened to have 12 of these trees in my yard. Now they are all dead. But I want to preserve them so I am carving them and treating them so they will remain another 100 years. The ones you see in the pictures are carves as an Easter Island Statute and the other one is a Cello. I have not figures what the other ones should be, if you have any ideas; please send them to me, with a picture.

This is a picture of my back yard. It is a beautiful day, lots of sun and a temperature of about -5C. We gets lots of clear blue skies and sun, most of the year.
There is lots of water around Kamloops, in fact the word Kamloops comes from a native Indian word meaning “meeting of the two waters”.
