So happy to be making portraits again... Here's a shot of a competitor in the Kamloopa PowWow in his traditional dress. I'm still blown away by the creativity & tradition displayed at this event. #explorebc @hellobc

If there was ever a time and place to get up in the air, it was here. We ventured out to explore the backcountry lakes and mountains near Blue River, BC... a tiny town, with a hidden secret... 1.2 million acres of unspoiled backcountry terrain perfect for hiking in the summer & skiing in the winter. @mikewiegeleheli @hellobc #explorebc

Despite wildfires in the area, so many parts of BC are still there to explore and appreciate. The last week in Wells Gray Provincial Park was unreal. Here is Nathan & Caley, fly-fishing on the Clearwater River. #explorebc @hellobc

Heading back to the jungles of Vancouver Island... always good to return home to where it all started ❤️ #explorebc

There is something powerful about the song & dance of our First Nation people. The beating drums & colourful regalia tell a rich story, something you can only experience first hand. The Kamloopa PowWow was a great event to witness many different groups come together to display their heritage and culture. Shot for @hellobc #explorebc

Some of BC's best waterfalls are located in Wells Gray park, and you don't have to try hard to find them 😍 #explorebc

With the drums still echoing in my ears, I'm still in without words to describe the experience of the Kamloopa PowWow. It was incredible to witness such a ceremony & pay respect to our First Nation people and their culture as we took in the songs and dance of various groups from across the America's. @lakeeyshah was competing this weekend and displayed her dance style to us in the field behind the venue while a flock of birds flew by. 😍 @hellobc @aboriginalbc @tourismkamloops #explorebc

On our way to the Kamloopa Powwow on assignment for @hellobc we met Peter, a 90 year old man who has been spending his years exploring BC in his 1976 Airstream, still hikes 5kms a day. #explorebc @hellobc
