I love this beautifully spare black and white photo from harrie nijland. I hope you give his photography site a visit.
September Roses
I love how these roses in Penticton’s public gardens are just blooming and blooming.
I hope you enjoy your Tuesday.
A Mystery Plant and a View
When I first saw this plant I thought it was a fake, but then I touched it and discovered that it’s some sort of succulent.
Nevertheless, speaking of plants, here’s a vineyard view from the southern Okanagan’s Black Sage Bench. The grapes are plump and nearing harvesting.
Happy Saturday.
Decorative Grasses
These ornamental grasses have turned a golden colour that is contrasting beautifully with the blue sky and green bushes.
We’re coming to that time of year when the contrasts will become more and more prevalent.
Happy Monday.
Pretty in Pink
I love this light pink rose that was blooming contentedly in Penticton’s public rose garden.
Isn’t it pretty?
Happy Saturday.
Busy Spider
I saw this rather intricate web on top of a bush.
There were lots of bits of leaves and other detritus caught in it, but I didn’t see anything a spider would want to eat.
It’s possible that’s this is the work of spider mites (they actually eat the plants they live on) but I don’t think so. The bush seems to be healthy and growing and the web strands seem much too large to be the work of tiny mites.
Happy Friday.
Autumn Flowers
I love all the bright autumn flowers that are available right now.
Such intensely vibrant and very decided colours.
The wonderful last beauty before we descend into the lustre of winter is captivating and precious.
Happy Thursday.
Is this all mine?

Autumn Soon
A trip to the Penticton market had a distinctly autumnal air despite the heat.
Fresh raspberries and blackberries – the last of them, we were repeatedly told – were bountifully available.
The flower stalls were bursting with vibrant autumn colours. At 30C (86F), it doesn’t feel much like September, but those invigorating cooler temperatures will arrive soon.
Happy Sunday.
