I will be intensely busy at work over the next week or so and won’t be posting. I will still be stopping by but my comments may be limited as well. 
Happy Tuesday and have a great weekend. 🙂

Favourite Summer Photos, Part I
Here are some of my most popular photos from the summer. Can you believe we’re heading for autumn? So soon??
This rainy rosie was well-liked and is one of my favourites too.
And this cutie. I don’t know what kind of flower this is, but it’s seriously lovely and delicate. 🙂
And daisies. They weren’t necessarily a blogger favourite but they are my favourite, so I’m including them.
Happy Tuesday. 🙂
Northern Sunrise
Here in the north, we have had a lot of rain over the last couple of days. We are finally drying out with a misty sun.
Happy Friday, happy weekend from the Northwest Territories. 🙂
Green Growing
The vineyards of the Okanagan Valley are verdant and blowsy with green growing …
… and green globular wine grapes, tight with juice and flavour …
… unless they’re red. 🙂
Most of them will soon be ready for plucking. They will become lots of types of wine, both precious and humble, and everything in between.
Like us.
Greetings from the vineyards of the Okanagan Valley. 🙂
At the End of the Day
At the end of the day, after all the beach- dwelling people have wandered off, sunburnt and tired,
the ducks reclaim their rightful place
and the geese return.
The lake becomes itself once more.

Serene
This is Skaha Lake in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. I spent a lot of time there while on summer holidays.
It is very serene …
… and placid. Soothing and relaxing and exactly what water and sun and fresh air and nature can do for a tired human being.
A beautiful day in the neighbourhood.
Happy Tuesday. 🙂
I’m Feeling Blue?
Nope.
These lovely blue wild flowers shouldn’t make you feel blue …
Or this little red (and yellow) flower make you see red …
… or feel yellow.
They are all as fresh as a …
Funny how we have used colours and flowers to represent our feelings and even our state of cleanliness!
But they just are what they are, from the perfectly cultivated and sophisticated …
to the tiny, wild and perfect.
They are nature’s lovely gifts. 🙂
Pink
I think these lovely flowers are miniature petunias, but I’m not sure.
Aren’t they pretty?
So fresh and bright. 🙂
Hello Duckies
There is a large park and a lake with a nice beach near our home in the Okanagan Valley. There are lots of ducks looking for snacks there and they sometimes follow you around. These three were persistent.
I don’t don’t feed them because there is lots of regular duck food available and it’s much healthier for them. So, they were out of luck on the people food.
They are very sweet though and so cutely waddling around as M and I enjoyed an afternoon on the beach.
Hello from the friendly ducks of Skaha Lake. 🙂
Hello Rosie!
We recently had dinner at a lovely winery called Kismet.
Really nice Indian food accompanied by Kismet’s wines. These were great matches which is a bit of challenge with spicier foods as the wine can be overwhelmed.
We were also treated to their pretty rose garden.
And one more rosie.
