I was recently thinking about where I was this time last year, both literally and figuratively.
2023
I loved working in the Northwest Territories, but I am happy to be where I am now – a lot warmer, whether that’s Dominicana or Penticton.
Every Friday for the next month I am going to post a poinsettia photo; after all, even if you don’t celebrate any of the December observances, they are a lovely bright spot in a usually cold, gloomy weather period!
I’ve seen many types of poinsettias before, but not this particular variant. They are indeed rather “sparkly” and the name is very appropriate.
Happy Friday.
Waking up, he checks the yard, Feels like snow that freezes, Not quite yet, but blowing hard, Come the northern breezes. News is written on the …

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.
The sunset as we flew northwest was stunning.
The colder air together with the sun’s angle combine to provide spectacular colours.
Happy Wednesday.
And so we’re back in the little fisherman’s cottage in Sal Rei, back where our Cape Verde time began, to conclude not only this trip but also our …
Return To Boa Vista: Playing Crusoe, Eating Tuna And Exploring The Island
I hope you stop by The Hungry Travellers blog (click the link above) as they recount their exploration of Cape Verde; beautifully written and with gorgeous accompanying photos.
As we prepare to leave the Caribbean to return to a very rainy Okanagan Valley via an apparently also rainy Toronto, here are a few favourite photos.
Happy Tuesday. I’ll soon be posting from home.
The storm that passed a couple of days ago was quickly followed by another. I was awakened in the night to what sounded like a freight train outside my window, but turned out to be pounding rain and shrieking wind.
Earlier in the evening, I took a shot of an underlit tree with the rain pouring around it. With the addition of some soap an outside shower would have been completely possible!
On the beach, Poseidon and Triton were whipping up some oceanic discontent. We didn’t stay long and were happy to go inside before the worst came barrelling through!
Happy Monday.
My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world in the hope they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness. I’m …
#ScenicSaturday 9th December 2023
A gorgeous photo of the Yorkshire chalk cliffs from Stuart Aken. Beautiful!
The storm that passed by us dropping a lot of rain and whipping up the wind has continued on out to sea. It has left a disturbed ocean, however.
This photo doesn’t really do them justice, but these waves were quite high.
The red do-not-swim warning flags were out everywhere, but lots of people were going in the water anyway. The waves coming up on the beach were definitely powerful enough to knock down children or anyone who’s a bit unsteady. We took a long walk on the beach but didn’t swim.
Happy Sunday.
