The town of Oliver on Tuc-el-nuit Lake
The town of Oliver, the wine capital of Canada! You can spend days touring the wineries & sampling their award winning products.
Grape vines replace orchards & irrigation transforms sage brush benchlands into undulating lines of vines.
A thing of beauty ...
Only an artist can see this as beautiful! Farmers call it a weed!
The hills in the Okanagan are filled with seasonal wildflowers, sage brush and bunch grass. Pine trees spot the landscape, low areas with natural drainage support willow trees and bushes. This area has under 10" of rain per year.

Nature's abstract
We spent 4 days in the Southern Okanagan Valley - B.C. interior. Osyoyoos is the only desert area in Canada.
Spotted Lake is an alkali lake that looks different every day of the year - depending on the amount of rain, light in the sky, etc. It is a protected site belonging to the Native Band. Historically, it was a peace site where all area tribes could use the lake.
