A very nervous flock of Starling were acting very strange by sticking very close to an entrance sign in very tight formation which could only mean one thing. They were invited to dinner buy this beautiful raptor. The Merlin is North America's second smallest falcon and is seen throughout the continent. This watchful bird was seen in the hills just above Kamloops, BC.

A lovely spot to capture my hometown of Kamloops, BC. This spot offers an unobstructed view of the valley, the city’s urban layout, and the surrounding mountains, allowing for stunning landscape shots, especially during the golden hour when the light accentuates the contours of the terrain.

Kamloops is a mid-sized city and a key regional hub located in the Southern Interior of British Columbia (BC), Canada.
Location and Meaning: Its name is derived from the Secwepemc word Tk'emlúps, meaning "meeting of the waters", as it is situated at the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers. The city is located within the unceded ancestral territory of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc Nation.
Landscape and Climate: The city features a strikingly semi-arid landscape, characterized by golden, sagebrush-covered hills and a dry, sunny climate, which is unusual for BC.
Economy and Culture: Kamloops is often billed as the "Tournament Capital of Canada" for its excellent sports facilities. Its economy is diversified, spanning transportation (it is a major rail and highway junction, including the Trans-Canada Highway), retail, healthcare, education (Thompson Rivers University), and tourism.
Activities: It is an outdoor enthusiast's haven, offering white-water rafting on the Thompson River, hiking, world-class mountain biking, and easy access to many lakes and the nearby Sun Peaks ski resort.

Here's another new wall I painted while in kamloops this summer for Waysr's bday. I approached the wall with a linear product in mind, similar to the last piece i painted. But when it got to the actual painting my gut feeling told me otherwise. I ended up painting something a lot more rounded, bouncy and fluid. It felt very different and strange to paint, but somehow right at the same time. Im quite happy with the end product.

The train will shove back to the Mountaineer's maintenance facility at North Kamloops, and head for Banff and Lake Louise with a load of passengers first thing in the morning.
