Welcome to Colleen’s Corner. This is a column meant for fun and some information About myself: I am a Freelance Photographer you often see me on the side of the road or in various places taking photos of different things animals, birds, places, people etc. l have lived in Lumby for over 8 years, you have seen my photos in the newspaper (Lumby Valley Times) and once in awhile in the Vernon Morning Star, and the Lumby Art Gallery. Photography is my passion. Disclaimer: The information on some of my photos that I write about a lot of times come from the Internet or books I research them, hopefully the facts are as close to the truth as I can come.

When I go for a walk I see some very cool things out there. Some of the things I see are great, others not so much. I see the marmots, snakes, birds, dogs, cats, statues, and so much more.
There are things out there that really catch your eye with just one look.
If you have been on the Monashee Salmon Trail you would see this gigantic skeleton. This is one of the things that really catches your eye. You can see it from quite a distance, it sits in a person’s yard all year. It is huge! Probably about as big as my car.
The dogs walking by don’t seem to be bothered by it.
The skeleton is very cool, so of course I had to take a picture.
Obviously the people living there have a good sense of humour.
I haven’t walked through the Salmon Trail near Halloween, and I wonder that if at that time of year do the people that live there dress it up with spiders, and webs, do they add a large hat to it, or maybe the whole family and friends gather around the skeleton and get their pictures taken with it? I know if it sat in my yard, although it would take up a lot of space, I would have a lot of fun with it. I would definitely dress it up and take a ton of photos with it, probably making it my new traditional Halloween card.
It’s always fun taking a walk somewhere and seeing such exciting, cool things.
