I found a few pictures of Thunder Bay area on the Net.

And here are some that I took of Thunder Bay, Lake Superior and the area in the Summer.


This was July 1st.  It was cold down by the lake.  brrrr....

This is one of my favourite spots to sit and be quiet and watch the birds fly over.

I took Jakob to my favourite spot, by the tracks.

The woods up around Kamloops BC

The lake by our campsite.  Ben, my brother's dog dragged that log around the lake like it was a stick.

Whiskey Jacks.
These little buddies will eat right from your hand and climb all over you from head to toe while doing so.

Both places are beautiful, Lori, though I admit a special fondness for BC.
Those Whiskey Jacks crack me up -- hope I get to meet one before I go. Do you ever see them in Thunder Bay?

I haven't seen Whiskey Jacks in Thunder Bay, yet.  Possibly I just haven't been where they are.  I'm mostly close to the city, haven't done much exploring.   :-[
They are silly birds. The day I took this picture we were feeding them corn and nuts and they really liked my Dog's food.  The landed right up on top of my head and walked around.  Such a strange feeling it was.  My brother calls them "Camp Robbers." But I prefer Whisky Jack.   :-*

Just a few more.  ;)

And this is Kamloops, right in town just before a Thunder storm.  I love watching them roll in.

This little fellow was a winker. ;)

Had to stop the truck and pull over on the side of the road for this picture.  A perfect scene.  If I could paint, I'd paint it.

I've always enjoyed the BC area.  Enjoyed taking the ferries to the different...islands?  Great history there.
