The heat drifted through the cloud cover, but the temperature was indeed perfect. The smell of summer prairie grasses and saskatoon berries …
Peace and quiet
I’m in turn forwarding this piece from Bernie at Equipoise Life who’s passing on a piece from her friend Dr. D who is presently working with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) in Gaza. I was very moved.
… after a rain storm …
… the sun re-entering …
… once the clouds have cleared.
Happy Saturday.
It’s white and pink time!
Happy Friday.
Happy Thursday.
That’s quite a head-display!
Happy Wednesday.
We recently had another very windy day with sustained winds at 70 km (44 mph) and gusts to 90 km (56 mph). It was strong enough to blow down some trees and anything unsecured in your garden might have wound up in Vancouver.
With the wind came a lot of cloud cover and we did get a bit of rain that was whipped along by the gale.
But as evening approached, the wind began to slow and we had a blazing, partially obscured sunset that was visually very stunning.
Happy Tuesday.

We’re nearing mid-July and the summer season is hitting its peak.
Penticton Creek is running much slower than it was a month ago …
… when it was moving along quite smartly …
… and looked much more like a river than a creek. The above picture shows one side of the bridge near the empty-point into the lake …
… and this shows the other.
There are other signs of the maturing season, too.
Panicle hydrangeas frequently start blooming in mid-summer …
… and the robin chicks are now indistinguishable from their parents.
Time relentlessly marches on whether we like it or not; there are no stop signs or do-overs …
… so it’s important to be here while we can.
Happy Monday.
A windy day over Okanagan Lake …
… resulted in some lenticular cloud formation, a beautifully white counterpoint against the blue sky.
Happy Sunday.
We awakened to a very rainy, windy and chilly day in Canmore, Alberta.
The Three Sisters mountains weren’t very visible …
… unless a wind gust provided a bit of clearance.
Happy Saturday.
