Duck Creek

The ducks have been happily inhabiting their creek since the spring run-off subsided back in June.

Because of our drought it has become quite low, so the ducks are now camping out on a little creek island.

Some still like the embankment though, where they’re more likely to get such treats as peas or lettuce which are nutritionally sound choices for them (not bread or crackers).

Have a ducky Thursday.

Japanese Garden

Penticton’s lovely little Japanese garden isn’t showing yet many signs of autumn, but there’s something about the fading of the colours that are signalling it.

The trees on the adjacent path also seem to be indicating the same.

But right now, the weather is wonderful and there’s no forest fire smoke, so I plan to enjoy it as much as possible.

Happy Tuesday.

Afternoon Beach Time

It’s nearing summer’s end, but after weeks of very high temperatures and nearby forest fires, the air has for the most part cleared and allowed a little comfortable beach time.

I brought a book with me but I didn’t do much reading.

I watched the boats going in and out of the marina, the kids playing on the sand and in the water, and the ducks stopping by to see if there were some snacks to be had.

It felt very luxurious to be able to just sit and enjoy, relax and not think about anything much.

There is an adjacent park and we walked though it when it was time to head home. It was a thoroughly wonderful afternoon.

Happy Sunday.
