It was a bit overcast and rainy.
But the old saying that April showers bring May flowers is probably accurate as growth seems to be chugging nicely along.
Happy Saturday.
Overcast Okanagan Lake
More Rocky Mountains
I love how this cloud hovered over the mountain.
It provided a beautiful emphasis to the snowy mountain peak and contrast to the blue sky.
We enjoyed many such beautiful views on our recent mountain drive.

Ducky Days
I saw this duck pair from a bridge above a creek near my home in Penticton.
There are many ducks down by the lake, but these two had separated themselves and were clearly bonded.
The male stood guard while the female looked for food.
When I passed by today they were still there in the same spot, this time taking a little nap. Something woke the female and I wasn’t able to get her in the picture, but the male continued his shuteye.
Not long from now, there will probably be some little hatchlings along this section of creek, but by then I will be back in the north and won’t be able to watch their progress. I hope they have a successful little brood.
Happy Thursday.

Okanagan Lake
Descending from the high mountain Coquihalla Connector Highway, a beautiful view of Okanagan Lake comes within sight.
The weather was sunny and clear and we could also see someone boating. A very big difference from the north.
Happy Wednesday.
Pink On Green
‘Pink On Green’ …a bouquet for today…

Mountain Approach
We had beautiful weather for our recent drive through Jasper National Park.
There were exceptional views from quite a distance because of the clear day.
As we got closer it was very evident that spring had started. There was a lot of snow at higher elevations but below there was only a bit here and there.
The snowy peaks against the blue sky were breathtaking.
It was delightful to leave the very snowy and still relatively cold north to enjoy a bit of southern spring, especially in such a gorgeous area and in such beautiful weather.
Happy Tuesday.

Springy Jasper
We drove through Jasper National Park yesterday.
It had been a long time since I had seen it during spring (I have recently seen it in summer, autumn and winter) and it didn’t disappoint. It was sunny with a soft spring breeze blowing, and we even heard some birds trilling and chirping. Beautiful!
Happy Monday.
