This gorgeous photo is from Stephen Gingold’s beautiful drive to work. He has many lovely photos posted on his blog; I hope you click on the link above for a visit.
Penticton is one of two cities in the world that is situated between two lakes. (The other is Interlaken, Switzerland.) We live in the north end near Okanagan Lake, but we used to live very near the other lake, Skaha, in the south.
A recent walk reminded me of the beauties of the smaller Skaha Lake; there was also some relief from smokey air as we had had some rain the night before.
Happy Wednesday.
The hibiscus flowers have recently been blooming in great profusion.
Hibiscus “plants” are actually considered to be woody shrubs or small trees; they can grow to three metres (10 feet) or more.
They come in a variety of colours and are also known as “rose mallow” and “rose of Sharon.”
Whatever they’re called, they are beautifully showy and frilly additions to a garden, especially if you are looking for something that will grow to quite a height and perhaps also provide some privacy as well as lovely flowers.
Happy Monday.
My photos here show how beautiful is our world. I hope to encourage viewers to help save it from our carelessness. Today, I give you a shot of a path…

A beautiful trail photo from Stuart’s Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. There are many gorgeous photos on Stuart’s site so I hope you stop for a visit.
Because we have been fortunate enough here in avoiding the worst of the drought and forest fires, we have lots of rich green to celebrate.
Tree fruit orchards abound and are producing many yummy delights from apricots to pears.
And not to be forgotten of course, vineyards.
Hostas are at their peak, with their lovely variegated leaves and notice-me flower stalks.
Isn’t summer great? Happy Saturday.
Happy Thursday.
From a trail above Okanagan Lake there are many lovely views.
We like to hike this trail a lot.
This was a beautiful day unaffected at that time by a large fire to the south of us in Washington.
The blaze crossed the border and has caused some local smoke; we understand that headway has been made by the hardworking firefighting crews, however.
Happy Wednesday.
The wine grapes are becoming plumper and plumper as they bask in the warmth and enjoy the occasional showers.
This healthy-looking bunch is tucked safely among its protective leaves at the vineyard shown above.
Happy Tuesday.
A sunny, warm day over Okanagan Lake descends into an overcast night.
Happy Monday.
