… photos, that is, from 2024.

January blue hour.
February bluebird – a harbinger of spring?
In March, many hungry ducks …
… and some deer came to town …
… as did spring.
April brought spring flowers …
… of all kinds, including azaleas.
A May visit to Ontario brought us pink dogwood …
… white dogwood …
… and drifts of pretty pink petals everywhere.
In June we visited Iceland and saw this beautiful – and large – waterfall: Gullfoss.
July brought us to the west coast of British Columbia and our visit to Haida Gwaii.
A July Pacific Ocean sunset ..,
… and a juvenile bald eagle scanning the ocean for a delicious meal.
Back home to a lovely August sunset over Okanagan Lake.
In September, a lone sunset paddler …
… and a cloudy day’s end.
October brought ted maple trees …
… while November gave us an elegant swan family …
… and more beautiful autumn reds.
December’s invigorating coolness arrived …
… along with rare but stunning winter sunsets.

Thanks for the memories, 2024. Happy 2025.

Glimpses

30 Comments

I took a long Boxing Day walk to get some exercise after a couple of days of too many good things to eat.

We have had a lot of rain, so our resident mallard duck flock was very happy.

Our overcast was breaking up, and though I’m hopeful of a bit of sun, the forecast isn’t in my favour. We are slated to get lots more rain over the next week …

… so we will be getting much more of this instead.

Nevertheless, there is a counterpoint. The seasonal lights look lovely against the grey, rainy sky, reminding all of us that the sun will be back.

Happy Friday.
