Best Places to Visit in B.C. - Steveston
deep water fishing port
at the end of the 20th century, dotted
with 15 fish canneries, hotels, saloons,
and gambling dens.
Japanese, Chinese, Native Indian,
and European immigrants, as well
as sailors from around the world.
the cries of seagulls, eagles,
and hushed echoes of the past.
Or was I only imaging the past
cries of fishermen who loved the
sea and make their homes along
her shores?

Merritt and the Great Northern Adventure
First stop along the way
was south-central BC and the Nicola Valley.
And it's quiet here. I mean .... really, really quiet.
You can hear the wind rustling the
grass in huge swaths that sweep across
the hillsides and valleys.The occasional rock or
tree breaks the rhythm of nature, heat waves
undulate and caress the blue skies.
I stayed overnight at Marquart Lake.
The skies slowly dissolve into an inky black,
the soft nighttime calls of an owl resting
in a nearby tree remain within my heart.
