Weather Change

We have been getting quite a bit of rain lately, which has been terrific for two reasons. First, we’re gradually climbing out of our drought, and secondly, at the higher elevations it’s coming down as snow, which is a good thing for all the skiers and ski resort operators. Our nearby ski mountain, Apex, is apparently developing a good base layer.

If you look straight down the lake toward the low mountain at the other end, you can see some higher elevation snow.
As a result, the overcast, while not my favourite weather pattern, definitely has some advantages hidden in its silvery clouds.

As long as we continue to get rain down here in the valley, I’m very happy to welcome the mountain snow, even though driving conditions in the passes become demanding.

No one has ever had to shovel rain out of a driveway!

Happy Sunday.

October Greetings

Walking through the crunchy leaves has been an enjoyable autumn experience accompanied by strong childhood memories of playing in the leaf piles.

I’ve always liked this Bugs Bunny cartoon; another enjoyable childhood memory associated with autumn and Halloween. After all these years, it still makes me laugh.

I hope you have a little chocolate and enjoy the day, perhaps with some crunchy leaves to walk through. And don’t forget, Abracadabra and Hocus Pocus are the magic words. 🎃

Reblog: 10.22.2024 The Super Full Hunter’s Moon on Mount Pollux

I’m back…at least for one post.  Not sure about the future but at least for one day my mojo  is back. Recently a Facebook friend, and now blogging …

A beautiful moon photo from Stephen Gingold Nature Photography. A visit to his blog is well worth the time.

Autumnal Okanagan

A recent hike on the KVR Trail above Okanagan Lake produced these autumnal sights.

This rain squall on the other side of the lake did reach us, but we were back in the car by then.

The sun peeks through cloud as the valley continues to don its autumn garb. In the meantime, the mountains across the lake choose a seasonal blue.

Happy Tuesday.
