Heyjude at Cornwall in Colours posted about the “week of flowers” idea from Cathy at Words and Herbs to help keep the winter blahs at bay.

Here are some of summer’s finest from Penticton’s rose garden.

Tropical Butterfly

26 Comments

I saw this lovely flutterer while out walking.

I tried to find out what type of butterfly this is – it bears some resemblance to a white monarch – but I’m not sure and to me there seem to be differences.

Regardless of its type, it sure is beautiful. I followed it around for a bit, trying to get photos as it went about its nectar-collecting day; it was so lovely to see.

Happy Saturday.

Palm Tree

14 Comments

We did a walk today to see if a familiar palm tree along the beach is still there.

It is! It has suffered a bit and another palm that used to be next to it is gone, but this tree has weathered storms and high seas and remains steadfast.

Here it is in late 2019 – this is our first time back since the start of covid in March, 2020 – but we do recognise it and its location. The shoreline has changed and the other palm has disappeared, but “our” palm tree is still there. Sometimes, it’s nice to know that the familiar, however altered, carries forward.

Happy Wednesday.
