A beautifully tranquil autumn scene from Stuart Aken.
Sundogs are caused by the sun shining through a cloud of ice crystals to cause refraction. They usually signal the onset of poor weather, but they are beautiful in the moment.

Happy Sunday.

Happy Saturday; happy weekend.
It has warmed up and as a result an enormous amount of snow came down, so very unusually, it’s piled up everywhere in Penticton.

Because it’s slick, people are not coping well and drivers, in particular, are having issues. That winter driving gene can atrophy badly if it’s not used regularly, unfortunately. These snow piles aren’t what I want to see, though.

This view from a walk of a few days ago is much better. But what will work really well is when I get to see this:

Spring will be very welcome!

Hey, does anyone else remember when air travel was fun? Flights had menus where you could choose your meal without having to pay more for everything …

There’s been too much of the white stuff lately.

Time for something completely different.

Happy Thursday.
Okanagan Lake is a little frosty around the edges.

But it’s sunny and we’re warming up; we’re about 12°C warmer than we were on Saturday.
Happy Wednesday.

Another old home in the downtown core that has escaped the wrecker’s ball.
MELLOW MONDAY
I very much like this summer photo of an older home from Belinda Grover. A visit to her photo-blog is well worth the time as she has posted many beautiful pictures.
The duck creek is open and our resident duck flock seems to be doing fine.

They appear to have come through the cold snap pretty well with feed from the city and snacks from passersby (including us).

I’ve noticed that even the small flock of over-wintering Canada geese have been accepting food as well; they’re usually quite standoffish, but any port in a storm. They’re probably wishing that they had migrated!
Happy Tuesday.
We have warmed up significantly but have about another 10°C to go before we reach seasonal. Thankfully that’s supposed to happen by Friday!

In the meantime, a side effect of this cold snap is that we have had wind-still, sunny days that produce photos like the one above.
Happy Monday.
