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 …

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.

… and some lovely water reflections of both the sky and the city lights …

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.
We are still experiencing relatively high temperatures of 30-35C (86-95F) and as a result the beaches remain very busy as people try to cool off or just enjoy the last bits of summer before it drifts gently into autumn.
The evenings are very pleasant and the beaches still inviting as people continue to enjoy them after dark and even swimming in the summer-warm lake.
Happy mid-week.
