This creek is very near my home and I cross it frequently.

I find its cool, silvery sound very relaxing at any time of year, but right now that sense is amplified because the bordering trees are yellowing.

I hope your day is relaxed and happy.

There are beautiful sights at any time of year, but autumn always presents us with a fabulous palette.



Happy Wednesday.
We had quite a windy rain storm pass through …

… which had many birds huddling on the beach …

Happy Monday.

Night descends so quickly now and soon the clocks will flip back to standard, bringing even earlier evenings and a different sort of seasonal beauty.
Happy Sunday.

A recent hike on the KVR Trail above Okanagan Lake produced these autumnal sights.

This rain squall on the other side of the lake did reach us, but we were back in the car by then.

The sun peeks through cloud as the valley continues to don its autumn garb. In the meantime, the mountains across the lake choose a seasonal blue.
Happy Tuesday.
Some stormy weather has been passing through our area, but in between these events the temperatures and weather have been good, so good that there’s still lots of sailing happening.

The marina remains open year-round as many people still sail regardless of colder conditions, something I would probably also do if I owned a sailboat.

There’s usually something very attractive about sailboats on blue water, no matter the season.
Happy Monday.
