A Pause before the Leap

A recent walk made me feel like spring was patiently waiting to make the leap from its winter confines.

Warm, wind still and clear, a quiet lingering expectancy of growth has firmly appeared.

A swimming and diving platform is in readiness, anticipating the excitement of sunny aquatic enjoyment.

Such wonderful things to look forward to!

Colour Time

It’s time for a burst of colour! These photos are either from spring or summer 2023 or 2022. I hope you enjoy them and that they bring a bit of relief from the late winter blahs if you still have those hanging around.

Okanagan sunset.
I love daisies.
Sailing, anyone?
Sunray beauty.

I won’t be taking comments over the next few days as we have company coming; I look forward to comment-chatting later in the week.

Happy Tuesday.

Sightings

Although on a recent walk it was still only 5C (41F) out, it was beautifully sunny and the cold wind we have been experiencing rather consistently had stopped.

Okanagan Lake was flat, calm and lovely.

The koi in the fish pond are awake and moving, if a little sluggish.

It definitely feels like spring, even if it’s still a bit coolish.

Happy International Women’s Day.
