Penticton has been quite rainy this spring and summer, but at least it has been fire free!
Happy Tuesday.

Happy Tuesday Lynette. A break from wildfires is always good. Allan
Thanks, Allan. We had a gargantuan downpour yesterday with 14 mm falling per hour and flash flooding in a few places, but the rest of the week is supposed to be warm and dry. Cheers.
Still raining here. We call July, Monsoon Month. Some sunshine and heat would be nice right now. A
At least the bugs haven’t been blooming here. I remember some pretty big unsettled summer systems from when I flew out of Edmonton City Centre. Lots of vertical cloud formation with both humidity and heat. I hope you get some nice sunny days soon!
That could be the start to a horror story. Oooh. Beautiful…
I didn’t think of that before, but yes, definitely. Feel free to use it if you would like. Cheers.
In that way it has been a blessing to have more rain than usual.
For sure. Last summer it was hot as Hades with fire all around. There were a lot of animals in town trying to get out of the smoke.
Not healthy to breathe either.
It was very bad at times. I felt so bad for all the animals trying to find a safe place.
Yes, me too. When I hear about a forest fire, the first thing I think about is how terrible it must be for all the animals trying to get away.
I saw one deer with what was clearly a healing burn mark on his nose. He was so thin and really looked stressed. I know that a volunteer group was temporarily putting out feed for them (and other animals) so there was some help, at least.
Heartbreaking to see animals in distress.
Cue the mood music…
Right? Definitely moody!
It’s beautiful. We are getting fog in the morning too. It may not be enough to stop the hungry fires.
We had terrible fires here last summer (and then floods and landslides in the autumn), so I understand. This year has been much cooler than normal with a lot of rain and mist, especially for July, but with the water table so low we really needed it. I wish you rain and cooler temperatures, Cindy.
Hopefully it’ll stay fire free!!
Yes, I certainly hope so too!
yes! so far fire-free — may we escape wildfires, floods & heat dome, this summer…
You’re definitely right about that! So far, so good …
Great photo!
Thank you very much. 🙂
Lovely clouds behind the town!
Yes, it was very interesting to watch them develop.
