… but when April changes its mind …
… and surprises us with the bright and sunny …
… it’s important to remember …
… that the beauty is always there, no matter what the weather.
Happy Wednesday.

#ScenicSaturday 13th April 2024:

I visited the marmot colony a few days ago. It was lovely to be outside.
There’s a nearby bench with a good view of their burrow and if I sit very quietly and as motionlessly as possible, many of them will start coming out into the open.
When they’re not on guard duty – they have to be vigilant about the resident eagles – they usually are in very affectionate pairs. They like to be right next to each other and constantly do a lot of low chatting, too.
This pair found a number of dandelions that someone had set out for them. Marmots love dandelions and will eat the whole plant, including the roots.
This one decided to keep a careful eye on me.
It was a beautifully warm day to watch the marmots and just enjoy the weather.
Happy Sunday.
A windless day …
… with warm temperatures …
… and reflections abounding …
… remind us that summer will soon be here, but there’s no need to rush.
Happy Saturday.
The azaleas are out in beautiful abundance …
… such a lovely spring sight to see.
Happy weekend.
I love how everything is popping and bursting.
Flowering trees …
… budding trees …
… and, of course, budding tree reflections.
Happy Thursday.
I know it’s supposed to be “Wordless Wednesday,” but when I took these photos the wind definitely had the upper hand over Okanagan Lake.
We had 18C (64F) but with the wind coming straight out of the north there was a bit of a cool edge. I was glad I had my windbreaker.
This section of beach is set aside for dogs. This one was really enjoying his soft frisbee and how far the wind would take it. Doggie heaven for sure!
The azaleas are blooming but the wind was blowing so hard that I had trouble getting a click.
A few metres away from the lake it was much warmer and the wind was much tamer. Spring does have its quirks but it’s beautiful nonetheless.
Happy Wednesday.
