I love how beautiful autumn can be. Tranquil, serene, windless, comfortably warm. On those days it feels a bit like the earth has relaxed into a comfortable chair and is taking a quiet breath of satisfaction on a job well done.
I think this photo represents that sense rather well.

Happy Tuesday. 🙂

I found some tea roses still blooming in their cheery pink.

They won’t last much longer now, but it was lovely to see them still rosing along.

Having spent a week in Penticton, I am now back in the north. There aren’t any leftover roses here, as it’s too chilly in October!
It was really great to experience some gentler autumn weather for a little bit, though.

This Okanagan creek, lovely and luxuriant in the summer, is gently fading into autumn.

Still lovely in its decline, the true beauty is knowing it will be back.
The wine grapes are heavy and lush and ready for harvest.

Grapes have been cultivated and sold for thousands of years, a trade that started in Israel, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran and Turkey. At present, about 75 percent of the grapes grown worldwide are used to make wine. We certainly like our grape juice!
Happy Saturday. 🙂
This photo, taken on September 29 in the village of Naramata, doesn’t show many signs of autumn.

But it definitely is a fall picture as you can tell from the yellow leaves at the sides of the road.
Here’s to a very slow autumn – it’s good for us.
Happy Friday. 🙂

Sitting on a bench under this weeping willow …
