Pinkwrap

From time-to-time this winter we have had very lovely sunsets.

Sometimes these pink glows have been the result of a little break in the overcast during sunset …

… but at other times they have been caused by a sunny day. After a slow start, we just had one of those.

Everything was pinkwrapped, including these Canada geese who were heading for their evening roost.

Happy Wednesday.

A Sunny Day – Yay!

We just had a beautiful January day with predictions for two more of them, so we’re planning to enjoy them as much as we can.

It was definitely brisk out as it was only 3C (37F), but there was no wind and I could actually feel a bit of the sun’s power.

After lots of grey overcast and rain, some sun and blue skies are a real treat!

Happy Tuesday.

Some of My Favourite …

… photos, that is, from 2024.

January blue hour.
February bluebird – a harbinger of spring?
In March, many hungry ducks …
… and some deer came to town …
… as did spring.
April brought spring flowers …
… of all kinds, including azaleas.
A May visit to Ontario brought us pink dogwood …
… white dogwood …
… and drifts of pretty pink petals everywhere.
In June we visited Iceland and saw this beautiful – and large – waterfall: Gullfoss.
July brought us to the west coast of British Columbia and our visit to Haida Gwaii.
A July Pacific Ocean sunset ..,
… and a juvenile bald eagle scanning the ocean for a delicious meal.
Back home to a lovely August sunset over Okanagan Lake.
In September, a lone sunset paddler …
… and a cloudy day’s end.
October brought ted maple trees …
… while November gave us an elegant swan family …
… and more beautiful autumn reds.
December’s invigorating coolness arrived …
… along with rare but stunning winter sunsets.

Thanks for the memories, 2024. Happy 2025.

January Sun

We were supposed to get some serious overcast accompanied by wet snow over the last few days, but apart from the cloud cover …

… we escaped. We had rain, but it never did get cold enough for any kind of snow.

And then we got this lovely little gift …

… clearing skies and sunshine …

… along with these cute deer who were also enjoying the weather break by lounging in a neighbour’s yard.

Happy Monday.

Rain, Rain, Go Away …

We have some chunky rain – rain with snow crystals – falling at the moment, so I think it’s time for something a little brighter than what I’m seeing outside right now.

Penticton is smothered in a very grey, chilly and rainy overcast.

There definitely will be sights like these again, thankfully.

A late August pond lily.
Wine grapes and blue skies. Do you need much more?
A beautiful late July evening – it was about 40C (104F) that day. Can you feel the heat?
A late June rose.

I enjoyed this little colourful break. I hope you did, too, especially if you’re in the rain or snow zone.
