Photographer Carla Hunt of Vernon, B.C., showcases the incredible diversity of wildlife and stunning natural beauty of the region
There are many features that make the Okanagan a beautiful vacation destination and place to call home. From the rolling hills and mountains to the gorgeous lakes, it truly takes your breath away. The diverse wildlife contributes to this beauty and their habitat must be protected.
The Okanagan has four distinct seasons, with summer being a wonderful time for camping, swimming and days spent in the sun. Vernon has been my home since 1998 and the North Okanagan region has provided me with a blank canvas upon which to create beauty by photographing local wildlife and nature.
I like to head up into the mountains quite often to check out the wildlife and take time to relax and unwind. With the ongoing decline of wildlife globally, I feel it’s important to photograph as many species as possible to show their significance and importance in balancing the environment.
The Okanagan has a diverse environment including wetlands and lakes, the two most popular lakes being Kalamalka and Okanagan. Kalamalka Lake, in particular, known as the lake of colors, can really put on an amazing display. When the lake warms in summer, limestone forms crystals that reflect sunlight and create distinctive blue and green colors.
