We brought home a stow-away!! It's tick season so make sure you check yourself out when you get home. This stow-away came from the Myra Canyon Trestles, near Kelowna, BC. I hope tourists know. There isn't any information up there about it. I don't remember them being so pretty . . .

British Columbia Parliament Buildings 2014 - Victoria, B C - YouTube
We visited the Parliament Buildings while in Victoria, BC. We wanted to attend the chamber and witness to goings on of parliament. They were debating the bill about the fate our agricultural land at the time. However, to do so, we would have left all possessions - pocket contents, cameras, etc. with the security folks. Why is that you ask? Because apparently people in the gallery have thrown things at the politicians below. We still have shoes . . .

BEE'S....MILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION (+playlist)
For millions of years bee's have been crucial to the survival of our planet and all living things. Today bee populations have collapsed, bee colonies have vanished.
Plants are genetically altered like the round up resistant canola, plants with 'terminator' genes so the seeds are useless. Bees are dying from a toxic soup of pesticides and fungicides in the pollen.
Modern technology is changing the planet for good, there will be no putting the genie back in the bottle. Still there is something special about watching bees on a flower like it is meant to be.
All sequences were filmed on September 20 and 22 at the Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna, the winery is government certified ORGANIC. The bee's like it that way.
