1. Brrr. Not a good ay for canoeing.

   1. Definitely not. Actually, this lake sees many sailboats and motor boats; sometimes they are very large and elaborate, so canoes would be edging around the shoreline – much safer for them.

      I don’t think I’ve seen this lake quite so perturbed. There were curled vapour vortices at regular intervals and whitecaps (you can see them in the picture). I would not have wanted to be out there, no matter how good the boat!

      1. I agree. It looks treacherous.

2. day

3. A far cry from a day in August Lynette, but still pretty. Happy Monday. Allan

   1. Oh boy, you are right about that! I took this picture during the cold snap that descended on Penticton just before winter break. I had never seen the Okanagan Lake that unsettled before. Cheers.

4. Love those colors!

   1. Yes, they are quite dramatic with the incoming cloud, aren’t they? This area makes for some great photo opportunities. Cheers.

5. Lynette, I can sense the chill from the glorious hues of winter blues! Whatever the decision, a time to be warmly dressed! 😀

   1. I took this photo during the winter break when a very unusual and unexpected cold snap had really made itself felt. I had never before seen that lake looking so unsettled and cold, so yes, a good time to be warmly dressed! Cheers.

6. Good title for this image! It does look choppy and cold.

   1. Thank you very much. The weather wasn’t at all nice; it was very cold and windy. Cheers.

7. That does look confusing. A good reminder about Nature’s power.

   1. The front shown in the picture moved in very rapidly, taking away our sun and treating us to wind and cold. Yes, nature shouldn’t be trifled with!

8. Beautifully expressed!

   1. Thank you very much, Penny.

9. It’s wild to see such a contrast in the skies between calm and cloudy. Great shot.

   1. Thank you very much, Linda. It was so dramatic as the sky had been perfectly clear and then this very angry-looking cloud rolled in (actually wound up staying for about three days!).
