Autumn Hydrangeas
I found some very pretty hydrangeas still blooming away in a protected corner.
I love how their colours graduate from pink to pinky white. So lovely and very different from all the Halloween pumpkins that are beginning to pop up everywhere!
Happy Saturday.
Am I Yellow or Am I Red?
During a walk today I stopped to admire the gum trees along Okanagan Lake. They are suddenly turning, but they are turning both red and yellow.
I love how interesting and lovely these trees are in their variegated autumn dress, but they won’t last long and have to be appreciated now.
Happy Friday.

Do You See Me?
While walking last week, I passed some underbrush that was full of little quail. But because they are so quick and blend in so well, it’s hard to get photos of them.
I was only able to get this shot, although I stood watching their busy busyness for about 15 minutes. They’re very adorable, if somewhat elusive!
Happy mid-week.
An Autumn Scene
I enjoy stopping here to watch the ducks or to see if I can spot any fish.
No fish to see this time but it’s always a very tranquil spot.
Happy Tuesday.
Happy Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. It was originally held in November but the date was changed about 60 years ago so that it wouldn’t conflict with Remembrance Day which is held on November 11.
The history of this day of thanks, while related to British and European harvest festivals, is also said by historians to come from the first celebration of Thanksgiving in North America during the 1579 voyage of explorer Martin Frobisher while he was in the Arctic looking for the Northwest Passage.
Another explanation is that French settlers, having arrived with Samuel De Champlain in 1604, held a thanksgiving feast with the neighbouring First Nations.
Whatever the history, the point is that we should recognise and appreciate the advantages that we have in life.
Many thanks.
Autumn Colour …
… both human-made and natural.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend. 🦃
Evening Light
Evening settles over Lake Okanagan.
I sat and watched the lake become slowly enveloped in a gentle darkness.
October Flowers
There are many flowers still blooming ~
It’s such a delight to continue seeing all this marvellous colour and scent well into autumn. There will be lots of good memories to dream on while everything sleeps.
Greetings from the October flowers of the Okanagan Valley.
