Penticton is one of two cities in the world that is situated between two lakes. (The other is Interlaken, Switzerland.) We live in the north end near Okanagan Lake, but we used to live very near the other lake, Skaha, in the south.
A recent walk reminded me of the beauties of the smaller Skaha Lake; there was also some relief from smokey air as we had had some rain the night before.
Happy Wednesday.

Happy Monday.

Happy Tuesday.
Happy Sunday.
A flotilla of small boats crowded the Okanagan Lake shoreline in preparation for the fireworks on Saturday night, Canada Day.
Seeing everyone out on the water and gathered near the waterfront and around one of the waterfront parks for the show was exciting.
As the sun went down and the moon appeared, the show began.
And intensified …
… until the finale.
Although the covid restrictions have been fully lifted since 2022, I am strongly reminded of how wonderful it is to be able to do these sorts of things; it’s something I am unlikely to take for granted ever again.
Happy long weekend Monday.

Have a good Tuesday.
Today we had some beautiful views above Okanagan Lake.
As the sun went down, we sat and savoured; it was a gorgeous end to a fantastic day.
Happy Monday.
We have had quite a bit of overcast with rain showers over the last week or so.
While I would have liked more sun, I couldn’t help but think of the areas where people are desperate for rain because of the forest fires, so I instead appreciated how green everything is.
Today the cloud began to disperse, and I understand that we are supposed to have good weather for the weekend. That’s great because there’s a lot going on: an Elvis Festival, a Car Collectors’ Cruising Festival, and a Rock and Roll fundraiser. M and I already checked out the car collection – in some ways quite nostalgic.
Have a good weekend.
