Today is the last day of summer; autumn starts tomorrow – in this time zone – at 5:43 a.m. And although I noticed Hallowe’en chocolate for sale yesterday at the grocery store, I’m not about to be directed by marketers into either thinking about autumn or into making any kind of autumnal purchase, especially not when I want to enjoy this gorgeous weather.
Right now we have beautiful days and cooler nights; a wonderful thing to be enjoyed as long as we can. Autumn will get here!
Happy Saturday.
September beginnings …
… warm weather, bright sunshine …
… time to enjoy the waning season as it draws to a gentle close.
Happy Tuesday.
Who says that it’s only birds of a feather that flock together? You can definitely flock with scales, too …
We have some trouble communicating but we still understand each other …
… because when the humans are dispensing food, it’s always a great idea to bring your best friends along to share the wealth. More friends, more food, especially if you look cute and needy, something that’s a bit difficult for a fish …
… but we know that sharing with our underwater, scaled friends is a good thing. They would do the same for us!
Happy Sunday.
This continuing series of posts depicts our beautiful world, encouraging people to share them and maybe even help save our unique home planet from …

We have just completed 24 hours of slow, gentle rain, truly a gift for this parched, hot area. Fear of massive fires such as we had last summer were always with us, but we’ve been getting enough rain to keep the orange monster at bay, thankfully.
There are still signs of dryness but the soil has lots of moisture now …
… and the ponds are full.
Happy Sunday.
These trees are about 120 years old and continuing to do well, but you do have to stretch a bit to see their tops …
… look up, waaay up …
… and then from a distance …
… tree art (with a beloved friend in the foreground).
Happy Saturday.
We may be heading into late August, but the flowers are still beautifully and steadily blooming. Here’s a sampler.
Happy flower Friday. 🌸

Happy Wednesday.
During the summer our resident mallard duck flock scatters all over the parks, beaches and gardens. They can be found almost anywhere, especially if there’s a bit of water nearby.
When the sun starts to shine and the days become warmer, they quickly abandon their over-wintering spot in Penticton Creek. Right now, only a few can be found there.
But when it gets colder, they will occupy “Duck Creek” once more, and lots of people – including the city – will make sure they have enough to eat to generate the calories they will need to make it to spring.
Have a duckie day!
