September Lovelies
We are having a very lovely month with sunny warmth and windless days.
There are many flowers still blooming away and not showing any signs yet of slowing down.
Lots of sunflowers are still fresh and vibrant in their daily sun-follow.
This frilly rose could have easily been a spring bud, but it decided to wait.
Although it’s late for peonies, their heady scent and massive blooms are still lingering in some gardens, depending on their cultivar.
Happy Sunday.

An Autumn Tone
We have entered a period of beautiful weather: warm, sunny and windless. The lake has been like a millpond.
But there’s something undefinably autumnal about the tone and atmosphere, as if the earth is releasing a long held breath and settling into a comfortable chair before heading into winter. The geese are eating and flocking; the leaves are starting to turn and the very air seems to be drowsing.
It’s time to enjoy this lovely pause.
Happy Friday.
MID AIR
I took a number of shots of the monarch but only realized I caught it in mid air when I got home 😊
MID AIR
This gorgeous mid-flight butterfly capture from Belinda Grover is very representative of the many awesome nature photos on her blog. I hope you stop for a visit.
Rose Garden Serenity
I like to walk to the Penticton rose garden to sit and admire it (and sometimes to take photos).
Right now, it seems to be at its height of loveliness.
It’s a very calming, very serene spot to just enjoy sitting outside.
Happy Thursday.

A Great Blue Heron Enjoys Lunch
M and I saw this great blue heron in the creek while we were out for a walk.
The pictures aren’t the best because I took them with my cell, but they will do.
The kokanee (a landlocked type of salmon) are starting to make their way upstream for spawning, and Mr Heron had his eye on one.
The salmon was in the shade at the edge of the creek.
I wasn’t able to get a shot of the actual capture because there were bushes in the way, but when he straightened up we could see that he had some lunch.
He quickly turned the fish around and swallowed it head first.
You can see from the size of his neck that the fish is only part of the way down!
That was yummy! Wait, do I see another one?
Happy Tuesday.
