Who says that it’s only birds of a feather that flock together? You can definitely flock with scales, too …
We have some trouble communicating but we still understand each other …
… because when the humans are dispensing food, it’s always a great idea to bring your best friends along to share the wealth. More friends, more food, especially if you look cute and needy, something that’s a bit difficult for a fish …
… but we know that sharing with our underwater, scaled friends is a good thing. They would do the same for us!
Happy Sunday.
A morning walk is a great thing all by itself …
… but when you also have lovely weather …
… and gorgeous scenery, you can be inspired to walk longer!
Happy Saturday.
Although we’re heading into September, there are still many, many late bloomers providing beauty, colour and scent. Here are some highlights from this week’s flower lovelies.
Happy long weekend.
We have had a few days of cooler temperatures but are now climbing back up there. But before it became too hot again – we’re expecting low 30s (about 88F) – we spent the day outside in the not-too-hot sun, walking and eating a late lunch.
We had a great day.
It has been cooler over the last few days, with highs around 20C (68F) or so. It has been a nice break from months of high temperatures. But there’s been some wind, too, and it has a decidedly autumnal feel to it. There were even wind-driven whitecaps on the lake.
Temperatures are supposed to go back to 29-30C (84-86F) by Thursday or Friday and those might be our last warm days before the descent into autumn.
Although it was cooler and the wind was definitely brisk, there were a few people still taking pleasure from the beach. Seated in lawn chairs and wearing light jackets, the weather wasn’t going to stop them from enjoying the views over the lake.
Happy Wednesday.
Those elusive places to free your mind Dance on the margins of the pages Like living memories we leave behind So wistful sweet, hallowed and ageless …
By the Lake

The showers – and more recently, the good rainfall – have helped the vineyards enormously as they continue to recover from January’s nasty cold snap.
There is more healing to come, but in the meantime, it’s a lovely sight as we take a walking break to admire the view.
Happy Tuesday.
From a recent flight over Wapta Lake, British Columbia, which is on the western side of the Rocky Mountains and situated between Banff and Glacier National Parks.
We have hiked Wapta Lake and the Wapta Falls a number of times, but not lately. It’s a very beautiful hike but quite busy in the summer.
Happy Monday.
