… from morning until evening.
Happy Thursday.

The sun breaks through …

Happy Saturday.

We’re still very cloudy …

… very rainy …

… and very windy.

But it’s relatively warm, so at least there’s no snow shovelling and we definitely have it a lot better than many on this continent who are dealing with some heavy-duty winter.
Whatever your weather, I hope you have a good Monday.
We are presently socked in by a very grey, heavy overcast accompanied by rain and wind so I chose to post these photos from a couple of weeks ago when we had a few clear but cooler days.

At least our daylight hours are increasing so even though we’re grey, we’re not experiencing complete darkness at 4:30!

And in other good news, now that January is finished, spring might start showing itself a little.
Happy Sunday; happy February.
We have recently had some very soft evening light.

It has been a lovely time of day, windless and calm …

… with some thinish clouds adding a veiled, mellow luminosity.

For a few seconds a strong pinkish tone emerged (this picture is completely unretouched). It was likely caused by light scattering of the blue and violet wavelengths allowing the pink, orange and red wavelengths to illuminate the clouds.

It didn’t last long but was very pretty.
Happy Thursday.
The setting sun gleams for a last few seconds …

… before disappearing behind the mountains …

… in an orange haze.
Happy Sunday.
Cooler temperatures mean clearer skies …

… and the arrival of some pretty pinks, too.

A dollop of pink cloud above a mountaintop …

… and wispy pink tendrils over the lake close out a sunny day.
I hope you’re in the pink today.
Many boats at the Penticton marina are still wearing their seasonal lights …

… which causes a beautiful purple shimmer on the water.
Have a good weekend.
