The yin and yang of summer, so far, is caught by Polek Rybcyznski’s lens
"Mt Currie shed a layer and made a big rumble a few days ago," says Polek Rybczynski, who caught the action. "It was humbling and a reminder of the raw environment we live in. But it's all about the One Mile Lake Water Lilies this time of year for me. They steal the show.

What we see when we open our eyes… with Polek Rybczynski
This was a glimpse, said Polek,... I was streching in the living room when Tae, my 2 year old, was napping, and this was the glimpse when I opened my eyes between stretches.

Summer’s here … and bannock begging season begins
Across the street from Lil'wat Gas and Snacks stands an unassuming little structure with a lemon painted on the front and a sign on the top which reads bannock. If you've not yet been introduced to this gem of a place, allow me to officially introduce you to Sweet Girl's lemonade. The operation is run … Continue reading Summer’s here … and bannock begging season begins
