Ice Jacket
The wind-whipped lake generated enough spray to produce these icy sheaths at the bases of these old pier supports.
Although the wind has died off now and the temperature is turning around – our high today was 0C (32F) – these icy housings give me chills. Burr!
I think I’ve had enough of this now and would really like to start seeing some springy signs. How about you?
Happy Sunday.
Snow Crystal
We don’t have any snow to speak of but I found this lone snow crystal on the windshield of my car along with a bit of generic frost. Isn’t it pretty?
Happy Saturday.
Blustery Weather
We have had a lot of wind, very cold, and with the odd spritz of rain or teeny bit of snow …
… but it has been sunny and that has helped a lot.
Nevertheless this wind really has a mind of its own. Rattling windows and bare branches and trying to grab my scarf or car door, there’s a lot of discontent in its undulating wintery sighs and moans.
Happy Weekend.

Let Your Imagination Soar
When I was a child I used to enjoy looking for animal shapes among the clouds.
I’ve recently enjoyed doing that again with these streamer clouds that like to hug the mountain sides. What do you see?
I see an elegant snow goose getting ready to take flight.
Happy Wednesday.

Coming Attractions
There’s a lot of cold/snowy/windy weather happening right now all over the country so I think a look at the coming attractions are in order.
These flowers and many others will be coming soon to a spring and summer near you!
Happy Tuesday. 🌼
Looking Back, Again
A week ago I started a “looking back” series, where I post pictures from years ago – those that are special to me but not necessarily great. Here are a few more.
These are from our first year in Penticton, before I decided to take a job in the Northwest Territories the following year. Like this one, that winter had been very mild, unlike the ones awaiting us in NWT.
Four months later, in February, 2017, I took on the adventure of working in the Northwest Territories after deciding we would keep our home here in Penticton. We were about to become very spread out over this huge country!
Happy Monday.
