Our beautiful world.
Happy Monday.

When we were out walking near the marmot colony a couple of days ago, we saw many, many of them, including some of this year’s young ones.

Some were sunning themselves on the warm rocks …

… while others were taking their turn at guard duty …

… and the young ones? They were just curiously exploring their world.
Happy Sunday.

I hope it’s bright and pretty.

… after a wonderful day …

… is a marvellous thing.
Happy summer solstice.
I have been dealing with a bad case of flu for the last several days but yesterday had enough energy to take myself out for a short walk along Penticton creek, which isn’t far from where I live.

It was a beautifully warm, comfortable day and I was able to take little breaks to enjoy the scenery. It was great to get out and start feeling a bit more like myself again.
There are apparently a couple of particularly nasty flu viruses round and about right now, so make sure you follow your best precautions to try to avoid them. Both M and I have had every symptom in the book, from fevers to severe body aches to nausea, so this one is definitely no picnic.
Stay healthy.

This is such a gorgeous photo of New Zealand’s summer from Andy at Ebb Then Flood.

Sun loving painted turtles dig into the mud at the bottom of lakes and ponds over the winter. Their metabolism slows down and they can survive …
