I came across this deer chowing down on apricots. There were three trees in the field, all of which have very ripe and seemingly abandoned fruit. He didn’t seem much bothered by me as I stopped to admire the scene.
There were many apricots on the ground but this guy was picking them right from the trees.
I’m glad he found the trees and is having some good meals – he was there again the next day – it would be a shame for the fruit to go to waste.
Happy Monday; happy week. 🙂
I don’t know what these flowers are, but on a recent ramble I found many of them next to the trail. Very pretty. Does anyone recognise them?
Happy Sunday. 🙂
A view of Lake Okanagan towards the north from the head of the KVR Trail.
Happy weekend. 🙂
The garden at a favourite restaurant, open again, permanently, I hope.
And, a lovely summer wine.
Happy Friday, happy weekend, everyone. 🙂
My favourite walking trail occupies a former rail corridor that was turned into a terrific path after it was abandoned by Canadian Pacific Railway when the line began losing money. This trail is now known as the KVR trail, short for Kettle Valley Railway Trail.
There is a very gentle grade as the trail climbs above the valley, and the views at the top are amazing.
The trial encompasses hundreds of kilometres and is extremely popular with hikers and cyclists. Overnighting is permitted in certain areas if you plan to do a long trip.
We have done most of the distance between Penticton and Kelowna (76 km) but only in chunks. We are planning to do all of it in the future as a three-day trip.

An interesting contrast.
I saw this scene on a recent visit to southern Alberta.
A ripening canola field, blue sky and green grass made for a very restful view.
I had a nice walk and lovely little lunch while admiring this field and its outbuildings.
Happy Tuesday. 🙂
This lush lavender bush was positively humming with bees when I saw it on my walk today. I could hear their pleasant and busy droning from quite a distance.
Somewhere nearby there is a fine lavender honey hive. Do you see any bees?
