We had another beautifully spring-like day today and took a walk at Skaha Lake.
Skaha Lake is the smaller lake that’s at the southern end of the city; it’s shallower than the very much larger Okanagan Lake at the north end and is a beautiful swimming and boating lake in spring, summer and autumn.
On our way to the lake we saw another, very definite sign of spring: the weeping willows have turned yellow which means that green leaves are close at hand!
Happy Wednesday
Yesterday we had a very spring-like day.
Windless, 10C (50F), and sun that had a little oomph going on.
It was lovely to sit in the gentle warmth and just enjoy.
My apologies to all the people throughout North America who are presently buried in snow or dealing with slush and cold rain and wind, but once spring starts, it does have a way of rolling forward, even if there’s a bit of to-ing and to-ing. It’s coming.
… from our recent hike.
I very much like photographing a gauzy sunset …
… that illuminates the lake’s ripples.
Happy Monday.
Day closes …
… into evening.
Happy Saturday.
… there will be …
… rhododendrons …
… plums …
… forsythia …
… and many others.
What a wonderful thing to look forward to!
Happy Friday.
The sky changed from a snow-laden grey …
… to bluish-cloudy dispersal …
… to yet more scattering and diffusion …
… and finally to the lovely pink glow of sunset.
Happy Thursday.
We had a bit of a storm blow through …
… and it’s supposed to be colder over the next couple of days …
… but warmer by Friday or Saturday.
That’s February for you.
Happy Wednesday.
I was delighted to find these hellbores (helleborus) getting ready to bloom.
Often referred to as winter roses or lenten roses, they are in fact not closely related to the rose family. No matter what they are called however, it’s wonderful to see them.
Happy Sunday.
A lovely February day …
… not to be missed …
… from morning until evening.
Happy Thursday.
A final image from the recent visit to Hurricane Ridge (Olympic National Park). I thought you might like to see a more ground level shot. The snow is…
