February Skyscapes
There were interesting sky portraits to be enjoyed …
… before the rain arrived again.
Happy Tuesday.
Quietude
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.
Will the Real Spring Please Stand Up?
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.
Skaha Lake
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.
Sunshine!
Yesterday’s snowfall/rain was quickly replaced by sunshine …
… but the mountains remain sprinkled in icing sugar snow.
The clear skies and spring-like air of the valley also reminded me that we aren’t far from the life represented by the sculptures on the rock promontory. Do you see them?
Here is a a much closer picture of them from a few summers ago.
These playing children – the epitome of carefree summer fun – remind me that even in February, we’re really not far from July.
Happy Tuesday.
Another Sunny Friday
We had bright sun on Friday and more indications that spring is on its way. Certainly it’s much closer than not!
I think we might soon have some buds.
But while we’re waiting for some spring leaves, clear blue skies and warmer temperatures are very welcome.
Lots to look forward to.
Happy Saturday
Walking Scenes
Scenes from a couple of my recent walks.
Happy mid-week.
Looking East and West at Sunset
These were taken less than 10 minutes apart … from Marrowstone I have to cross Indian Island to get home in Port Townsend. The top photo is looking …
Looking East and West at Sunset
Beautiful sunset/cloudscape photos from Allan J Jones. A visit to his photoblog is well worth the time – he has posted so many gorgeous pictures.
Winter Blue Hour
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.
