Recently, we had some continuously windy and rainy weather for about five days, although each evening the wind died away and the atmosphere relaxed into night.

The rain was generally persistent throughout the evening and night periods but sometimes there were clear breaks as well. This picture is of one of those clear breaks. The lake was like a mill pond while there was some mist in the distance and the lights began to be visible.
Happy Sunday.
Funny how you can always tell the season is changing by the weather patterns. Hopefully things straighten around after the full moon. Have a great Sunday Lynette. Allan

Thank you, Allan. Very true although we have had good weather for a couple of days now and are actually supposed to get temperatures in the mid-20s next week. At least we have had rain and no more fires in our area now. It was good to have cooler temperatures. Cheers.

We can tell so much from the water conditions. Ripples, waves, frothing whitecaps, or mirror-like calm. Very nice photo, Lynette.

Thank you very much, Anneli. I agree. This lake is very communicative. I love how it has been churning during the day and so mellow once evening arrives. Cheers.

We got some wind storms around here too–a little early for the season. Maybe it’ll start early and then no more? Crossing my fingers.

I think ours were too early as well. The wind and rain is gone now and this week is supposed to be warm and sunny, so agreed, maybe no more wind for a bit! Cheers.

Looks like a lovely evening. The buoy(?) makes me think it’s a plug to empty the pond. 🙂

It was. 🙂 Those are depth buoys, but your idea of a plug (and possibly pulling it) might result in some issues as Okanagan Lake is about 120 km long (75 miles) and about 150 m deep (500 ft). I think the plug should be permanent. 😉 Cheers.

What a wonderful phrase, “the atmosphere relaxed into night”! (And the photo’s not bad, either…)

It’s always nice to take advantage of the breaks between the rain and get some fresh air. We haven’t had much rain in September and are in desperate need of some. Thankfully we’re supposed to get a lot of rain this coming weekend.

I have to remind myself that the rainy season is coming up; for the last six years I have been preparing for the cold-and-snowy season! I hope you get the rain you need, Linda. This drought we’ve been having in so many areas has been terrible.

I’m sure it’s nice to not have to think about the snow just yet! We’re finally supposed to get some rain tonight.

Agreed, Linda. So nice. We don’t get much snow here usually; I’m going to enjoy that. Good to hear that you’re getting (hopefully) some rain.
