Descending from the high mountain Coquihalla Connector Highway, a beautiful view of Okanagan Lake comes within sight.
The weather was sunny and clear and we could also see someone boating. A very big difference from the north.
Happy Wednesday.
… outside wine days, that is, are coming soon.
Happy Saturday.
A glass of red can be so comforting on a cold, wintery night and especially together with a comforting meal.
Happy Weekend.
Happy Wednesday.
Quail are ubiquitous here in the Okanagan Valley. I often see them racing around, their cute little comma-shaped head feathers arriving ahead of them.
Although they can fly, they are amazingly fast runners and when chicks are nearby, the adults will suddenly burst into flight, distracting potential predators away from the little ones.
They are extremely social and live in family groups of 20 or more birds. They don’t migrate for the winter but will congregate in coveys of up to 100 birds to keep warm since at 25 cm, (10 inches) they are very small.
They are portrayed extensively on the art work of this area and there’s even a winery named after them.
Greetings from the quail of the Okanagan Valley!
Hi Lake, I’ll be joining you soon!

Happy Monday.
We had a beautifully sunny December 31 and a very enjoyable day together.
Good wishes to all of you for 2022. 🍀
I am on my way back to NWT after two weeks in the Okanagan; I am leaving M to finish up all the packing as we sold our strata and bought a new home at the north end of Penticton near Lake Okanagan. He’s very organised about it all and will be ready to go when the movers arrive in eleven days but it’s too bad that I can’t be with him to help out with this part. When I come back to Penticton for winter break, it will be to a new address. But in the meantime, a few more Okanagan views.
Happy Monday; happy week. 🙂
I am missing home. It’s beautiful …
… but then again, home always is.
