Morning Sights

31 Comments

Right now we have a forest fire nearby and to escape some of the smoke (and the heat of the day), it’s important to get out for a walk as early as possible.

I live in an eclectic neighbourhood of Penticton that’s a mix of single-dwellings, duplexes, higher density apartments and stratas, cafés, restaurants, galleries, parks, breweries, trails and shops. And, not to be forgotten, one of the beaches (a small one that’s chiefly used by locals) is five minutes away. I love walking here and I always see different sights that I pause to enjoy.

A lovely community garden. Several people were busy working their verdant plots.
Looking for a book? You may find something interesting at Little Free Library.
A beautiful old pine tree with supports to prevent some of its branches from leaning too far.
A rather smoky view over Lake Okanagan. There is a major fire that’s only 15 km away.
Rose of Sharon hibiscus.

Despite the smoke, it was a lovely walk, but I was glad I went early as the smoke intensified later in the day.

The Landing

I took this very short video of small twin engine passenger plane on final approach into Penticton Airport over Lake Okanagan.

As it came closer, I took another photo as J wanted to capture the reflection of the landing lights on the water. The colours in the photo are more blue than I thought they would be.

It’s not a great photo but I like the reflection on the lake.

Happy Friday and happy landings.
