Koiek Valley

I have been eyeing up the Koiek Valley for a few years. Finally made it!

This pipe plays tag with the main road for 7km up the valley. It carries water for a generation statement down at the Fraser River.


Land of blue water


 

West of Boston Bar

I went on a back road roam last September. The trip covered the West bank of the Fraser River beyond Boston Bar and extended as far as the East side of Harrison Lake.


The next few posts are from that trip.

Spheres

New product release!





 Eye balls!


Checker balls!




 They are made by hand on a wood lathe out of pieces of hardwood that we would otherwise discard.

 We will be offering them for sale. I'll add a link when it is available.

Flaking




 
Yup. Even the rocks.
 


 
Reverse flakes!


 

Fire Colors

These purple flowers are taking over the post fire landscape. We're not sure what they are. Definitely not fireweed.





 Mixed palette.

End of June, and the ice is just starting to leave. Three quarters of the ground was still covered in snow.

Bright blue water just starting to show around the edges of a nameless mountain lake that sits below Mt Tilley.

 Mt Tilley itself, the mountain that presides over this patch of ground.


Heli-tourism season has already started.
