This morning I went on a most beautiful desert hike<\/a> in the Thompson River area of British Columbia with my mom. The region is near Lac Dubois<\/strong><\/a>. I absolutely adore everything about this area! The smells: wild sage,<\/strong>\u00a0the sounds: Meadow Larks,<\/strong>\u00a0the sites: rolling dry hills, cacti and craggy cliffs<\/strong>…for as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n

Spring in the desert hills, a most beautiful and fleeting time of blossoming beauties!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I Hope you enjoy the pics of our hike below.<\/p>\n
