Urban Creek

We live near the creek that runs through Penticton, and although its name actually is “Penticton Creek,” it definitely behaves and looks more like a river at times.

A low April creek with a napping duck.
Very fast-running and full May creek.
June. The water levels had gone down enough that it could once more become duck central.
A beautifully shaded July creek.

Our resident mallard duck flock loves this creek and lives near the outflow end where it empties into Okanagan Lake. Everyone loves them, feeds them and fusses over them. They’ve definitely found themselves a good gig!

Sometimes, life is like that.
