The hole in the mountain wall

On the edge of Observation Mt. is this small room cut into the rock and braced. I haven't yet found out what it is for.

Rosehips

The autumn harvest from hillside walks. Wild roses grow everywhere and the hips are ready for picking. I always tuck an empty bag into my pack and spend some time picking nature's harvest of Vit.C rich rosehips. My grandmother always had a pot of rosehip tea ready and the sweet fragrance is a lovely reminder of the spring roses.

Rock Piles

On this property on Spencer Hill, Grand Forks, B.C. are piles of rocks like this from land clearing. One wonders what they grew here. The land is sandy and hot. So much potential for more farmland.
