More Kamloops Parks

 After a strenuous hike, we were ready to hit the big smoke for lunch.  We ate at our favorite Indian restaurant, the Coconut.

Leo had coconut curry

And I had uthappam, 

which is a pancake made from rice and pea flours and chopped vegetables.  It came with lentil stew and 2 chutneys.

After lunch we decided to check out 2 random parks.  The first turned out to be just a small pocket park between houses.

Stairway to Nowhere

We did better with our next attempt, Pineview Valley Park.  It turned out to be a wetland full of birds and provided access to trails leading up into the hills.

Checking for warblers

The death Camas is starting to bloom:

Back at the campsite Leo photographed a merganser

Bird of the Day!

And a magpie

And we witnessed a dramatic, purple sunset.
