Clouds and snow are dominating the mountains around Okanagan Lake.
I’m glad the snow is up there and not on the streets. Here, we’re looking at more rain, and I’m fine with that.
Happy Thursday.
The Okanagan Valley is surrounded by mountains: there are sub-ranges of the Rockies to the east of us, the Coastal Mountains are to the west of us and the Okanagan range of the Cascade Mountains are to the southwest of us. It’s no surprise then that our valley becomes subject to a lot of cloud and mist, particularly in the winter.
Penticton’s elevation is 385m (1263 ft) and the mountains around us are at least another 700m (2300 ft) higher; mist and cloud are typically trapped by mountain ranges.
I love watching the interplay of cloud and light as it forms, disperses and reforms, all the while playing peek-a-boo with the sun.
Happy Winter Solstice – if you’re in the northern hemisphere, from now forward our days become longer.
As we returned to British Columbia from our holiday, we had beautiful weather over the Rocky Mountains before arriving in the Okanagan Valley. It’s not often that such clear weather occurs in December over the mountains, so I felt lucky to see this fantastic sight.
Happy Thursday.

#ScenicSaturday 2nd September 2023
A beautiful September lake scene from Stuart. The link above will take you to his blog where you can find many more of his nature photos.
We recently visited Vancouver. The weather was thankfully cooler and somewhat showery, a very welcome respite from the hot, dry conditions and forest-fire-propelling drought.
It was good to see the clouds clinging to the mountain sides and a moisture-laden canopy.
Happy Friday.
There’s nothing like a crystal clear day in the mountains.
It reminds us of how fortunate we are to inhabit this beautiful, precious planet.
Happy Wednesday.
Happy Sunday.
