Celebration

14 Comments

A flotilla of small boats crowded the Okanagan Lake shoreline in preparation for the fireworks on Saturday night, Canada Day.

Seeing everyone out on the water and gathered near the waterfront and around one of the waterfront parks for the show was exciting.

As the sun went down and the moon appeared, the show began.

And intensified …

… until the finale.

Although the covid restrictions have been fully lifted since 2022, I am strongly reminded of how wonderful it is to be able to do these sorts of things; it’s something I am unlikely to take for granted ever again.

Happy long weekend Monday.

Late Evening Walk

This creek is less than a block away from home. The lower end of it, before it empties into Okanagan Lake, is a favourite of our resident ducks.

In the twilight of a summer evening, it’s lovely to take a stroll on the path next to the creek.

The path itself is also quite lovely. Doesn’t this look like it could be Hobbit country?

Happy Friday; happy weekend.
