Autumn Memories

24 Comments

I think autumn is my favourite season – although when summer comes along, I love it, too – because of how comfortably warm, wind-still and beautiful it can be with all the colours. Given how rainy and overcast it has been here, it’s nice to look back as a reminder of what we have coming up.

Skaha Lake sparkles in October.
Golden ginkgo biloba leaves.
Autumn apple yumminess.
Sunny September sunflowers.
Late October rose.

Happy Monday.

  1. Ahhhh Autumn. The best time of year Lynette. Love the Gingko leaves. We passed one of these regularly while in Vancouver. It was amazing in the sunlight. Happy Monday. Allan

    1. Thanks, Allan.
      Agreed – Autumn is so great! And yes, the ginkgo trees are gorgeous, especially in the sun.
      We are supposed to be getting colder temperatures, a low of -10C by Friday, but so far, the forecast is constantly being revised up. Kelowna is getting a snowstorm today but so far, no snow here. I hope you’ve been getting some precipitation. Cheers.

    1. It has been so overcast and rainy and it seems that the entire country is getting some very bad weather right now, so bright photos of better weather seemed appropriate.
      Yes, ginkgo grows in the more temperate parts of BC (we’re in a very deep valley between mountain ranges so most of the cold weather goes over us). They’re such beautiful trees.

    1. Thank you. After six winters working in the subarctic (average January temperature is -35C), experiencing a winter in our temperate valley is so very easy, but I’m looking forward to spring, too.

  6. Yes, it is a good time of year. I know that winter is my least favourite, but I’ll try to find something good about it. We have to get through it, so we might as well try to enjoy it.

    1. For me, this winter has been a walk in the park after NWT. I’ve particularly enjoyed seeing the interplay of cloud and mist over the lake and I don’t mind the rain, either. But I’m looking forward to spring, too. Winter is definitely not my favourite either, but this year’s feels so carefree – my parka is still packed away and may never see the light of day again!

    1. I agree, Linda. The two lakes, Skaha and Okanagan, are so stunningly gorgeous in autumn. They’re beautiful in spring and summer, too, but in autumn the weather is just so beautifully clear and warm, not hot, and the lakes are still retaining summer heat, so they’re great for swimming. Skaha is almost like a bathtub. Pretty wonderful.
