When I first started hiring a professional photographer to shoot our real estate listings about 6 years ago, very few REALTORS® in my area (Kelowna, BC, Canada) were doing it. I probably wouldn't have done it either, but my good friend (who was an accomplished photographer) was branching out his practice and specializing in architecteral real estate photography. ...

I had the opportunity last weekend to participate in the Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay for the Kids at Kelowna's Apple bowl. This annual event raises money for both Easter Seals Camp Winfield and the Okanagan Boys & Girls Clubs Camp Arrowflight, two deserving charities that help local kids overcome challenging circumstances and have live-changing experiences at camp.

Well, It’s the last day of “Movember” and it’s been a good run. I’ve grown a healthy mustache and had a lot of fun raising some money for Prostate Cancer Canada. It’ll be kind of sad to say goodbye to this new friend who’s made his home on my face this month – I’m sure my wife won’t mind.

Someone asked me the other day: "why isn't there anything on Mount Baldy" - referring to the appropriately named bald hill in the centre of Kelowna (just north-east of Dilworth Mountain), not the ski resort in the South Okanagan.

After being born in Kelowna and living here most of my life, my favorite Kelowna sight isn't Okanagan, Kalamalka, or Woods Lake, it's not the golf courses, the orchards, or the downtown Kelowna waterfront... (the list goes on).
My favorite Kelowna sight only happens a few times per year (due to the relative scarcity of winter sunshine in the valley and intermittent snowfalls) and it takes my breath ...

I've heard a number of rumours of an imminent alien invasion centered in the Canadian province of British Columbia beginning January 1, 2010. These extra terrestrial beings are evacuating their home planet, Moate Roalah, prior to its destruction at 12:00 AM (earth time), January 1, 2010. You see, the planet Moate Roalah's calendar is exactly 10 years behind Earth's calendar ...
