… photos, that is, from 2024.

January blue hour.
February bluebird – a harbinger of spring?
In March, many hungry ducks …
… and some deer came to town …
… as did spring.
April brought spring flowers …
… of all kinds, including azaleas.
A May visit to Ontario brought us pink dogwood …
… white dogwood …
… and drifts of pretty pink petals everywhere.
In June we visited Iceland and saw this beautiful – and large – waterfall: Gullfoss.
July brought us to the west coast of British Columbia and our visit to Haida Gwaii.
A July Pacific Ocean sunset ..,
… and a juvenile bald eagle scanning the ocean for a delicious meal.
Back home to a lovely August sunset over Okanagan Lake.
In September, a lone sunset paddler …
… and a cloudy day’s end.
October brought ted maple trees …
… while November gave us an elegant swan family …
… and more beautiful autumn reds.
December’s invigorating coolness arrived …
… along with rare but stunning winter sunsets.

Thanks for the memories, 2024. Happy 2025.

  1. Happy New Year. I loved your photos last year and found your photos of the deers taken in the street especially fascinating. But at the same time nervous for them as you know because of them being in the street.

    1. Thank you very much, Liz. 😊 I wish you all the best for 2025. The deer regularly come into town during the winter as it’s warmer and easier for them to forage. That photo was taken quite late in the evening, so there wasn’t much traffic or many people about. Most people are used to the deer being around, too, so they’re safe, probably much safer in town than in the mountains where there are lots of predators. Cheers.

  3. A good collection of photos Lynette that summarize your 2024. Given all the current turmoil, it is nice to look back on the good bits. Hoping for a great 2025. Allan

    1. Thank you very much. I agree, Allan. There is definitely a lot of turmoil going around; a lot more than we ever need! I’m just trying to stay level through the whole thing. Ugh. Yes, I hope 2025 turns out better than it’s looking at the moment.

    1. Yes, it was definitely a good year and the first one from a retirement perspective. This is a western bluebird as the mountain bluebirds are only blue; they don’t have the reddish-brown tummies or patches on the back.
