A day may be grey and rainy …

… but once the sun pushes through …

… the colours emerge …

… to remind us that …

… even when all seems dark, the sun is still there …

… and will return.
Happy Monday.

Here are some varied summer evening-sky scenes to remember as this lovely season begins to disappear into autumn.

A blue hour with moon …

… a silhouetted mountain …

… an overcast sunset …

… and sunset-reflected clouds …

… together with a lovely view of evening Rocky Mountains …

… are images to take with us as summer unwinds.
Happy Sunday.
We have been getting lots of thunderstorm warnings recently and certainly they have been all around us with their distant rumbling and even their high winds and rains, but nothing directly up until now. The skies they produce however can be quite amazing as they roil past us. It’s worth noting that I haven’t made any adjustments to the colour of these photos; this is just as the camera (and I) saw those clouds.

Happy Tuesday.

… the sun re-entering …

… once the clouds have cleared.

About three hours east of Revelstoke, British Columbia, is Banff National Park and Banff townsite.

It’s one of the gems of Canada’s national park system …


… and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every one of our visits.
Happy Wednesday.
I love fireworks and the city put on a good show out over the lake for Canada Day. The weather was perfect and there were lots of boats …

… and people on the beach …

… to see this …

… and this …

… and this, too …

…followed by a fantastic grand finale.
Happy Thursday. 🎇
The lake settles into a glowing quietude …

… the intense heat of the day dissipating into the night …

… leading us to enjoy a calming reflection at day’s end.
Happy Wednesday.
Today is overcast with light showers, some of which never reach the ground but clouds are putting on a fine
