Rt. 97 North to Kelowna is breathtaking for any newcomer to British Columbia. The summer months bring long trails of cars behind each rambling (and rubber-necking) RV on the road. Okanagan Lake is 84 miles long, and between 1 and 3 miles wide--a Mecca for summer fun. |

Late July gifts us with juicy peaches, nectarines and apricots. On Monday evening I stopped by an orchard nearby to see the fruit, and asked a Sikh man working there for permission to photograph the trees. He thought for a moment, and then agreed, but as I gathered my camera equipment, I saw him check his face in my car's side mirror. |

Then I understood: he wanted me to take his picture! After a couple of shots, I showed him the LCD screen, and he excitedly gave me the two nectarines in his hands. Sikh families cultivate a large portion, if not the majority, of the Okanagan Valley orchards. |
