Shore Pines and Sunset

This is one of the heritage oaks that have been planted in Penticton’s Memorial Park. There are several others, all of which are about 10 – 30 years older than this one, making them approximately 110-130.
The plaque says “This oak tree was planted on July 1, 1937 to commemorate the coronation of George VI. It was presented to Penticton by the Royal Gardeners London.”
All of the trees in this park are very carefully tended and cared for by the city; they all display vaccination tags, especially the lone elm tree. As you may know, Dutch elm disease has been ravaging these incredibly lovely shade trees.
Happy Sunday.
This is from a few days ago when we had lots of frost around. Now it’s rain, a good step on the way to spring.
Happy Saturday.
I saw some buds on the ash tree saplings lining one of the city streets! I unfortunately didn’t have any kind of photographic device with me in order to post a picture here, but these little buds were a wonderful sight to see!
In that spirit, I’m posting some spring flower pictures from last year; I hope they brighten your spirits and help you to forget for a bit about the cold, the wet, the snow, and the wind.
Happy Friday!

We had a moisture-laden snowfall that is now melting quickly in our rising temperatures. It’s squishy, sloppy and wet, but completely nothing, of course, compared to what much of the rest of the continent is experiencing. Good luck with that ongoing situation everyone, and I hope winter is finished snowing on you.
Much too wet to sit here …
… but rising temperatures and clearing skies are wonderful to see …
… and hopefully harbingers of springy things to come!
Happy Tuesday.
Thankfully, the days are getting longer even if many of us are still contending with very snowy, cold, wet and/or windy conditions.
I’m hoping this is winter’s last hurrah before packing it in and declaring itself blown out!
Happy Monday.
