When I was a child I used to enjoy looking for animal shapes among the clouds.
I’ve recently enjoyed doing that again with these streamer clouds that like to hug the mountain sides. What do you see?
I see an elegant snow goose getting ready to take flight.
Happy Wednesday.

A week ago I started a “looking back” series, where I post pictures from years ago – those that are special to me but not necessarily great. Here are a few more.
These are from our first year in Penticton, before I decided to take a job in the Northwest Territories the following year. Like this one, that winter had been very mild, unlike the ones awaiting us in NWT.
Four months later, in February, 2017, I took on the adventure of working in the Northwest Territories after deciding we would keep our home here in Penticton. We were about to become very spread out over this huge country!
Happy Monday.

A lovely poem with very effective illustrative pictures from Anneli at Words from Anneli. Please click the link above to see the rest of her post.
No groundhog sightings here today, just some sunny views …
… which, come to think of it, likely means we will have six more weeks of winter …
… since there will definitely be some shadows for the groundhogs to find.
Happy February.
A late January sun shines on snow-covered mountains to the eastern margin of the Okanagan Valley.
We have been fortunate to have had quite a few sunny days or part days during January …
… but not today.
Happy weekend.
The day began with a lot of heavy overcast but by mid-afternoon it had cleared off enough …
… to provide us with a lovely sunset.
Windless and with a relatively mild temperature of 2C (35.6F), I enjoyed a colourful late afternoon walk as the sun disappeared.
Happy Wednesday.
love to settle in our deep valley …
… collecting on benches …
… hugging the parapets and obscuring the mountains; following their own path …
… seemingly alive.
I don’t think this sheep is aware of what is coming at her. To be honest she probably doesn’t care, she has a thick winter coat on and no doubt will …
Coming at You!
A beautiful photo from James Elkington at Mountains, Myths and Moorlands. James has many beautiful pictures on his site; please click the link above to see more of them.
It recently occurred to me that this blog has been running since October, 2012 – quite a long time. Although it’s not my blogversary, I feel like doing a photographic “looking back” series and posting some pictures that have been buried for a while. These are not necessarily great photos, they’re just photos that I like, that evoke strong feelings.
These pictures are from an early autumn holiday visit to the Okanagan Valley in 2012. We knew we loved it, but didn’t know then that we would eventually move here.
Good memories of a lovely holiday.
