Alexandra Falls Trail, just outside of Hay River, Northwest Territories is a nice spot to take a break and stretch your legs.
We completed our drive north in two days – glad to be finished!
The Stop that Refreshes

Mountain Mist
We left the smoky Okanagan Valley and had a very continuously smoky drive until we reached Jasper National Park …
… where the rain started, lots of it. The atmosphere certainly needed a good cleaning, and I hope this rain was a big help toward dousing some of these wildfires we have.
Happy Monday. 🙂
On the Road
I am heading to the Northwest Territories, leaving behind my beautiful but smoky Okanagan Valley; we are presently socked in by smoke from a huge fire to the north of us.
I hope some desperately needed rain arrives soon.
Antique Bottles
I’ve wondered what these were originally used for, but now they are bedside water bottles.
Have a great Saturday. 🙂
August 13’s Friday Flower
More hydrangeas, but I do like them …
… mountain hydrangeas are the least common hydrangea. These have much smaller flowers but the plants are extremely hardy and will survive harsh winters and climates.
And very pretty!
Walking Sights
A couple of views from my walk yesterday morning on Penticton’s KVR Trail.
Happy Thursday. 🙂
August 11’s Wordless Wednesday (Well, not Really)
I found these beautifully unusual hydrangeas, blue and cream.
And on the same plant, a much more uniform blue, but with hints of lighter blue on some of the petals.
Hydrangeas are such lovely, interesting plants. 🙂
Phlox
Very bright and cheery and safely surviving the drought in someone’s private garden.
On the other hand, these were in a public garden and although still pretty, were struggling quite a bit more.
Sometimes, it’s all about conditions outside your control.
Vancouver Evening
An evening walk along Vancouver’s sea wall.
Happy Monday. 🙂
Irish Eyes
Happy Sunday. 🙂
