Although it was reasonably warm out, it was otherwise an extremely windy, rainy and overcast day – seeing across the street was about the most of it – until evening arrived and the weather started to break.
First it was like this …
… but then the cloud layers started to spread …
… and the sun began to peek out.
It was still windy, but a clearing sky was rather wonderful.
Happy Saturday.
The recent and intensely overcast skies that are dropping their drizzles and whipping up winds …
… relented a bit to allow a streak of orange light along a mountainside …
… while a little blue sky and sunny warmth broke through the gloom …
… but then disappeared again.
Happy Wednesday.
A layer of evening pink illuminates the lake …
… while an aircraft on final flies past …
… and into the lovely clouds …
… emblazoned by the setting sun.
Happy Friday.
The day starts with layered, soft and luminous greyish-blue skies …
… that mingle and meld …
… until they separate a little …
… allowing a mellow sun to peek through.
Happy Wednesday.
A bit of December colour …
… from the last few days …
… provides a luminous backdrop …
… to the festive season.
Happy Tuesday. 🎄
… arrived!
It’s still very soggy – you can’t have all that rain and then dry out quickly – but it was so nice to see a little sun.
We’re supposed to get some more tomorrow – wow! – sun two days in a row!
I plan to enjoy it as much as I can, especially that I’m beginning to feel better, too.
Happy Thursday.

Stunning pictures from Bernie at 3six5Snap2. I hope you visit her blog to see more of her gorgeous photography.
The almost continuous rain that we have been getting – although nothing like the inundation that the coast is presently experiencing – stopped for a bit during my afternoon ramble which made picture collecting a bit easier. Here’s a bit of what I saw.
A backlit pine cone …
… some very calm water highlighted by the merest hint of sky-pink as the blue hour settled in …
… and some lovely water reflections of both the sky and the city lights …
… while in the meantime the rhododendron buds await spring.
Happy Saturday.
After 25 cm (9.8 inches) of rain recently fell on us, we had a beautifully sunny day.
For a change of scene I had a ramble at Skaha Lake, which is at the south end of the city.
It was 10C (50F) and windless, so walking conditions were pretty nice.
I encountered a group a students with their teacher who were happily enjoying a weenie roast on the beach after they had completed a hike. They were having a great time.
It was wonderful to have a break from the rain and I enjoyed every second.
Happy Saturday.
A couple of days ago we enjoyed a beautiful autumn afternoon stop at Vaseux Lake which is 27 km (17 mi) to the south of us. It really was nice enough to have dawdled on the beach.
A couple of days later we experienced a different kind of beauty. It was cooler in a very familiar autumnal way and also a bit blustery, but the sky was so arresting with its layered cloud formations.
Happy Monday.
