Since we have become warmer, we have been experiencing some dramatic and interesting cloud formations. This is a good example of how wintry blue the skies over Okanagan Lake can appear.
Happy Sunday.
Dramatic Skies

Evening Ducks
Our local duck flock has gathered in their favourite creek to rest and sleep.
There was some sleepy chatting, but mostly there was a lot of settling and snoozing.
Well fed and comfortable, they seemed to be doing well.
Happy Saturday.
Fountainesque
This fountain in our Japanese garden was quite impaired by the cold weather we had!
It was left running because the pond is full of fish, and given how shallow it is, they might have frozen in our recent cold snap. So it was still struggling along, with what looks like a collapsing volcanic snow-cone around it.
Here’s a similar view in black and white. which one do you prefer?
Happy Friday; happy weekend.
Winter Evening Skies
We had a rainy day but the evening skies were beautiful with cloud striations and a nascent sunset partially obscured by overcast.
Happy Thursday.
It’s Warmer!
After our unusual and record-breaking Arctic blast that was quickly followed by a Pacific Ocean storm which dumped a record-breaking load of snow, it seems we are back on track. That means that we will return to our regularly scheduled rain, but in the meantime, we had a day of cloud clearing and sunny breaks accompanied by a pleasant temperature.
Happy Wednesday.
It’s Raining …
… and pouring, but there’s warmth and light.
Happy Tuesday.
January View
Beautiful, but I’ll be happy to see spring!
Happy Monday.
Sundogs
Sundogs are caused by the sun shining through a cloud of ice crystals to cause refraction. They usually signal the onset of poor weather, but they are beautiful in the moment.
Happy Sunday.
Winter Vineyards
Happy Saturday; happy weekend.
Snowpiles
It has warmed up and as a result an enormous amount of snow came down, so very unusually, it’s piled up everywhere in Penticton.
Because it’s slick, people are not coping well and drivers, in particular, are having issues. That winter driving gene can atrophy badly if it’s not used regularly, unfortunately. These snow piles aren’t what I want to see, though.
This view from a walk of a few days ago is much better. But what will work really well is when I get to see this:
Spring will be very welcome!
