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.
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!

A mill pond-calmness on Okanagan Lake produced this beautifully reflective and meditative surface.

Spring can gift us with such tranquility and serenity in a single view.
Happy weekend.
