This creek is very near my home and I cross it frequently.

I find its cool, silvery sound very relaxing at any time of year, but right now that sense is amplified because the bordering trees are yellowing.

I hope your day is relaxed and happy.

There are beautiful sights at any time of year, but autumn always presents us with a fabulous palette.



Happy Wednesday.
We had quite a windy rain storm pass through …

… which had many birds huddling on the beach …

… but the sun showed up …

… and for a bit it felt like it could be spring.

Unfortunately, that won’t be happening for a while, but it was nice to enjoy the little reversion.
Happy Monday.

Night descends so quickly now and soon the clocks will flip back to standard, bringing even earlier evenings and a different sort of seasonal beauty.
Happy Sunday.

A bridge over the creek running through the village of Naramata is surrounded by yellowing trees in all their brief glory.
Happy Thursday.
We took an evening walk …

… and returned late enough to see the almost half-moon rising above the mountains. Since I used my cell to take the picture, the moon’s edges aren’t very defined, but I like the photo despite that drawback, especially the sky’s blue tint.

Happy Wednesday.
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.
From a recent visit to southeastern Alberta.


Happy Friday.
We had a heavy rainfall overnight – something that’s welcomed since we still have drought conditions – and the next morning the weather had left a beautiful flat calm as well as clearing views of Skaha Lake.

I love the gentle ripples that entirely covered the lake’s surface.
Happy Thursday.
Right now, we have red! Loads of red. Here to be enjoyed for a short time.





Happy Wednesday.
