When I first took this guy’s picture, I thought he had hurt his wing. It looked like he had maybe torn the top of his wing where it folds against his…

We were supposed to get some serious overcast accompanied by wet snow over the last few days, but apart from the cloud cover …
… we escaped. We had rain, but it never did get cold enough for any kind of snow.
And then we got this lovely little gift …
… clearing skies and sunshine …
… along with these cute deer who were also enjoying the weather break by lounging in a neighbour’s yard.
Happy Monday.
We have an abundance of these berries everywhere around town and with all the seasonal decorations now being packed away …
… these lend some much needed colour to our winter landscape.
Happy Sunday.
We have some chunky rain – rain with snow crystals – falling at the moment, so I think it’s time for something a little brighter than what I’m seeing outside right now.
There definitely will be sights like these again, thankfully.
I enjoyed this little colourful break. I hope you did, too, especially if you’re in the rain or snow zone.
The Okanagan Valley can produce some amazing cloud formations …
… at any time of year, winter or summer …
… providing fanciful views …
… of sunset cloud kingdoms …
… or alien craft …
… wherever your imagination might like to go …
… but always interesting; always beautiful.
Happy Friday.
This snow-covered mountain top appears to be floating because of the ribbon of mist at the mountain’s midsection.
It’s such a beautiful visual effect.
Happy Thursday.
PIGLET AND I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The sun sets …
… on 2024 …
… so long, old pal.
Happy first Wednesday, 2025.
Many thanks to all who have followed, liked or commented over the past year; you have been very much appreciated. I’ve enjoyed our comment-chats, your travels, your gardens, your walks and hikes, your photography, your musings and your thinkings. As the years pile up on this blog, it’s been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience to connect with so many different people from all over the world.
The sun sets on one year …
… and we welcome another.
Happy 2025!
Today is the anniversary of the day we met, which is the one we celebrate rather than our wedding. We were married in Banff on a beautifully sunny August day, but it was mostly a formality …
… as we had long since decided that we wanted to be together.
And so the day that we met became the important one. We’re going to Kelowna for a meal in a good restaurant with an overnight stay included – so that we can enjoy a good bottle of wine without concern – ahead of the new year celebrations.
Happy Monday.
