River Runs Wild

8 Comments

Back in mid-April I posted pictures of the quiet little creek that runs near our place in Penticton.

The ducks love it and even take naps there.

I had expected to find some young waddlers being shepherded by their parents on my next trip home, but …

… I instead found a very swollen, fast creek, loaded with mountain run-off. The ducks have waddled off to safer, calmer waters, as this creek is running near the top of its embankment.

Happy Thursday.

Vineyard Lunch

20 Comments

Today was a holiday Monday, so M and I did a little vineyard exploration and found a lovely winery restaurant and a good bottle of wine.

This was the view from the winery restaurant deck.

Lunch was delicious, the view was fantastic and we were rewarded with a gaggle of wild roses (also known as sweet briar roses) as we left the grounds. It was a good day.

Very pale pink.
Princess pink wild rose.

It had just rained, and the scent from these roses was heavenly.

Happy Tuesday.

Late Spring Rhododendrons

15 Comments

On yesterday’s walk I saw many rhododendrons. They have almost finished their lifespan, but are still impressively beautiful.

The classic pink rhodos.
So frilly and pretty. A spring gift.
The white rhodos (also known as western azaleas; they are a rhodo sub-species) have a mildly sweet scent.

Happy long weekend Monday.
