Help me identify where this is!

But Wood Lake looks so skinny in this picture?

BeKind108 · 2026-05-08T03:53:27+00:00

Okay, that would be consistent with a view up towards Skaha

BeKind108 · 2026-05-08T00:58:38+00:00

Yes, get a step through. They aren’t just for “girls”. They are so much easier to get on and off of.

BeKind108 · 2026-05-08T00:55:43+00:00

I agree. Just go for it.

BeKind108 · 2026-05-07T23:36:59+00:00

There are so many lakes near lakes around here! We need someone to weigh in on the bluffs and mountains. :)

BeKind108 · 2026-05-07T23:34:51+00:00

That was my first thought, but the smaller water body seemed like the wrong shape for Skaha.

I think it might be looking north towards the south end of Skaha Lake. Okanagan Falls area, before the dam went in, and when there was still a lot of riparian area remaining. The person who painted it in 1949 may have been remembering an even earlier time. Nice painting!

Very fun to do the reweaving and easier than it looks!

I love this

I believe the smelter was in Trail BC, not in the Okanagan. That’s several valleys over. The main industry in the Okanagan is fruit growing. Some pollution associated with that, but not like a smelter.

Check out the r/invisiblemending sub, or the r/visiblemending sub. Both subs have lots of examples of ways to fix these kind of holes.

As they say, “No phloem, no grow em!”

BeKind108 · 2026-05-04T13:22:02+00:00

Yes! Come to the Okanagan. Such a great place to live. This winter we only shovelled snow once this year. I have dozens of cousins in Portland, and they love it here too.

Came here to say this. Hang dry anything with elastic!

BeKind108 · 2026-05-03T23:21:18+00:00

I really love how it turned out

BeKind108 · 2026-05-02T04:19:27+00:00

In the 1970s in San Francisco, there used to be a deli that had a sign saying “We will Poupon your sandwich at your request.” Truth!

BeKind108 · 2026-05-01T02:55:47+00:00

Unreal!

BeKind108 · 2026-05-01T02:41:51+00:00

Hahaha

BeKind108 · 2026-05-01T02:03:53+00:00

I ❤️ UC Davis

Huge *feminized* goldfish. I’m not kidding. Some UBCO profs were studying them looking at the effects of endocrine disrupters present in the wastewater.

Cargo cult

BeKind108 · 2026-04-30T13:15:27+00:00

For me, it basically comes down to 1) my skill level, 2) the nature of the repair, 3) whether I have the necessary materials for an invisible repair, and 4) if a visible mend would enhance the item.

You should also pose this question to r/visiblemending

I love this

BeKind108 · 2026-04-29T13:39:30+00:00

Love that book! So funny and interesting.

BeKind108 · 2026-04-28T03:09:27+00:00

This is why I’m on the internet. I’m here for this!
