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.
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.
