Photos
These pictures were taken in late May and early June, while we were working for BCTS in Kamloops. Unfortunately, I was very busy on this contract, and I didn't have time to take a lot of photos.
This photo shows how sharp the snow line can be. Often, just moving up by a dozen meters or so in elevation can mean the difference between a clean block and a few inches of snow.

Thawing trees. These ones came to us frozen solid, so the forester suggested opening them up overnight, in a shaded area with no direct sunlight. That did the trick.
Our mess tent.
Andrew and Connor, facing away from the camera, and Katie.
Katherine & Lindsay. Sorry for the focus problems.
Parked on top of a mountain, overlooking another mountain.
Stephane's final meal for the season, before going to work for the Edmonton Folk Festival.
Dragonfly. I tried to focus very tightly on part of its wings. You can see that they aren't even solid material, they're just a rigid webbed design. Very cool.
Disassembling the first aid tent, as we packed up camp before planting on the last day of the contract.
