The almost continuous rain that we have been getting – although nothing like the inundation that the coast is presently experiencing – stopped for a bit during my afternoon ramble which made picture collecting a bit easier. Here’s a bit of what I saw.
A backlit pine cone …
… some very calm water highlighted by the merest hint of sky-pink as the blue hour settled in …
… and some lovely water reflections of both the sky and the city lights …
… while in the meantime the rhododendron buds await spring.
Happy Saturday.

Lynette, I can relate the weather, before yesterday we got less that 20 minutes of sunshine in December. Just rain and even grey. So today even the main newspaper wrote about the wonder of a sunny day yesterday 😀

A sunny day is such a precious thing right now!😊 But actually, I shouldn’t complain too much as coastal parts of this province are being flooded along with parts of Washington, too. In some areas the losses of stock, winter crops and infrastructure and homes has been bad.

Thank you, Maggie. I understand that Apex and Big White also have good conditions. No surprise that Revy got a good dump given all the moisture that’s been coming through! Have fun. 😊

Thank you very much, Phil. I was definitely tempted but it was a bit early. All the overcast is causing darkness to descend as early as 3:30! One was enjoyed later, though. Cheers. 🍻

Thank you very much, Jenn. We are certainly getting a lot of rain but have escaped the flooding, thankfully. The lower mainland has always been more susceptible to it but not to this degree. Climate change is definitely having an impact.

It has been raining in Finland too. On Friday it was sunny day, but of course I was working. I am so sick and tired of the rain. This month we had only couple of day sunshine. You photos are lovely, thanks for sharing, so I can imagine the sun through your photos 🙂

Thank you very much, Minna. You’re very welcome; my pleasure. 🙂 We’ve had so much rain here and particularly on the coast where there has been flooding. In the mountains it’s coming down as snow which is creating happy conditions for the skiers but down here in the valley not so much. Today we have a bit of weak sun so I have to get out to enjoy it before it’s gone! Too bad you missed your sunny day because of work.
