It’s nearing summer’s end, but after weeks of very high temperatures and nearby forest fires, the air has for the most part cleared and allowed a little comfortable beach time.

I brought a book with me but I didn’t do much reading.

I watched the boats going in and out of the marina, the kids playing on the sand and in the water, and the ducks stopping by to see if there were some snacks to be had.

There is an adjacent park and we walked though it when it was time to head home. It was a thoroughly wonderful afternoon.
Happy Sunday.

This morning Okanagan Lake was much more visible and the sky considerably cleaner. Officials are describing the forest fires in our area as “held,” which means they are under control and on their way to being completely extinguished.

We saw some smoke later in the day but it was comparatively little and indicated that the fire crews have made tremendous progress. It’s such wonderful news!
Such a lovely shade of blue …

… and a lovely later summer addition to our gardens and fields.

Happy Tuesday.
