More rain coming …

Happy Sunday.
More rain coming …

Happy Sunday.
There were interesting sky portraits to be enjoyed …

… before the rain arrived again.

Happy Tuesday.
At day’s end, a little walk through a park can bring tranquility to our busy lives.

Always important.

Happy Monday, and if you are in the west, Ontario or New Brunswick, happy Family Day.
According to the groundhogs, we’re supposed to get an early spring. If memory serves, six weeks earlier. And since spring starts on March 16, then the early version should be underway now.

Certainly, we’ve had stabs at it for a bit here and there, but then the wind comes out of the north – there may or may not be a rain and/or snow accompaniment – and reminds us that there are glaciers and icicles way up there.

At least the sun has been shining and the sky has been blue! But I guess the lesson here is that I shouldn’t rely on weather prognosticators, either rodent or human.
Happy weekend.
We went walking at the southern end of Skaha Lake.

It was a beautiful day although the wind was out of the north and rather cold. In protected areas it was lovely.

The blue skies and lake were great to see. As we get closer to spring I’m hoping to see a lot more of that fantastic colour!
Happy Thursday.
The blue hour occurs when the sun is lower than the horizon, allowing its blue wavelengths to become visually dominant.

Recently, I was out at just the right time to capture this phenomenon.

Although I was able to see the blue light, the camera’s lens saw it much better than I did and captured these beautiful cobalt blue skies.
Happy Monday.
Since we have become warmer, we have been experiencing some dramatic and interesting cloud formations. This is a good example of how wintry blue the skies over Okanagan Lake can appear.

Happy Sunday.
We had a rainy day but the evening skies were beautiful with cloud striations and a nascent sunset partially obscured by overcast.


Happy Thursday.
After our unusual and record-breaking Arctic blast that was quickly followed by a Pacific Ocean storm which dumped a record-breaking load of snow, it seems we are back on track. That means that we will return to our regularly scheduled rain, but in the meantime, we had a day of cloud clearing and sunny breaks accompanied by a pleasant temperature.


Happy Wednesday.

Beautiful, but I’ll be happy to see spring!
Happy Monday.
