There are beautiful sights at any time of year, but autumn always presents us with a fabulous palette.



Happy Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday.
During a recent flight there were some amazing cloud formations illuminated by the moon.

These clouds were avoided and we had a smooth, uneventful flight.
Happy Tuesday.
We had quite a windy rain storm pass through …

… which had many birds huddling on the beach …

… but the sun showed up …

… and for a bit it felt like it could be spring.

Unfortunately, that won’t be happening for a while, but it was nice to enjoy the little reversion.
Happy Monday.

Night descends so quickly now and soon the clocks will flip back to standard, bringing even earlier evenings and a different sort of seasonal beauty.
Happy Sunday.
The sun shines through an orange, red and yellow maple tree …

… illuminating its brief but brilliant array of colours.

Happy Saturday.
Penticton’s rose garden is beginning to fade, but the blooms are still lovely to see.


Happy Friday.

A bridge over the creek running through the village of Naramata is surrounded by yellowing trees in all their brief glory.
Happy Thursday.
We took an evening walk …

… and returned late enough to see the almost half-moon rising above the mountains. Since I used my cell to take the picture, the moon’s edges aren’t very defined, but I like the photo despite that drawback, especially the sky’s blue tint.

Happy Wednesday.
A recent hike on the KVR Trail above Okanagan Lake produced these autumnal sights.

This rain squall on the other side of the lake did reach us, but we were back in the car by then.

The sun peeks through cloud as the valley continues to don its autumn garb. In the meantime, the mountains across the lake choose a seasonal blue.
Happy Tuesday.
Some stormy weather has been passing through our area, but in between these events the temperatures and weather have been good, so good that there’s still lots of sailing happening.

The marina remains open year-round as many people still sail regardless of colder conditions, something I would probably also do if I owned a sailboat.

There’s usually something very attractive about sailboats on blue water, no matter the season.
Happy Monday.
