Lynette, thank you for sharing the serenity of this June sunset. The lake looks so tempting – is it possible to head down for a swim there? Happy Midsummer!
You’re very welcome, Annika, and thank you. 😊This lake has many stretches of beach so you would be very welcome to take a swim. Here’s a little info if you’re interested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okanagan_Lake
Looks beautiful Lynette. Welcome to summer. The sun sets here after 10:05 these days…too late for us old folks to stay up and watch and the sunrise at 5:05 wakes me up too early. Happy Solstice. Allan
Today around 2 p.m. I’m going to watch for the earth juddering to counteract the forward lean into the sun and begin to right itself as we begin the journey toward equal day and night in the fall equinox. Meanwhile, we have a lot of daylight hours today to get a lot of daytime activities done. I remember as a young girl, going outside after 10:30 on solstice evening in Dawson Creek to test if it was light enough to read by – and it was. “Science” is so amazing.
Yes, I’ll be waiting for that too! We’re continuing to take it a bit easy as we’re still recovering from flu (I developed a raging secondary ear infection and became quite sick again, but on the mend now with antibiotics). So we will enjoy it, we just have to be slow.
I loved testing things out like that when I was a kid.
This bug was vicious. It hit hard and threw the book at us. Thanks, Anneli, I hope my hearing comes back completely; I’ll just have to wait and see. Cheers.
Oh, ‘marvelous’ is a marvelous word. We’ve tumbled around the sun again, solstice to solstice, and now we’re trekking back around again. It is marvelously so!
Beautiful. It looks so calming there.

Oh no! I’m so sorry about your ear infection. That can be SO painful. I hope you shake this bug soon and never get it again.

It has been quite an odyssey, Anneli. My hearing has been really affected, too; I hope not permanently. At least I’m starting to feel better!

Good chance it will come back when it has had time to mend and the bacteria or viruses are gone completely. Sounds like a very mean bug you had.
