We’ve rotated enough in our turn around the sun such that in the last week or so, spring has, creeping on little kitten feet, arrived. The wind, while still cool, is soft and mellow and the sun feels fresh.
There isn’t any foliage yet, but it won’t be long.
Next week our temperatures are supposed to climb again. Yay!
Happy Sunday.
Might it be? Could it be? The very, very, tippy top of spring? Maybe!
Happy Saturday.
… for the very, very beginning of spring?
Fingers crossed! And although I know that February can be temperamental, I take encouragement from the fact that temperatures are up, the wind is down, and the ice encrustments?
Those are starting to melt.
To everyone who lately experienced those huge snowfalls and wicked temperatures, I wish you very prompt blue skies and controlled – because of all that snow – meltings.
Happy Sunday.

A couple of days ago, the fog lifted and we were rewarded with a beautiful sunny afternoon.
We decided to go to Skaha Lake at the southern tip of Penticton to enjoy the weather with a walk.
The esplanade was filled with children, dogs, families, young lovers, seniors; everyone, it seems, was enjoying what felt like a genuine spring afternoon.

This beach will soon be busy with swimmers, dragon boats, sailors, sand castle builders, picnickers and kite surfers. Hooray for spring!
My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world. Maybe they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness. As I rarely …

A beautiful autumn day.
Blue sky, clear water, wonderful.
September is gorgeous.
Have a good weekend.
My roof glacier has melted a lot!
In the night I was awakened by a thunk but couldn’t find anything amiss inside. Then I realized that some of the roof glacier had probably fallen; in the morning I saw some snowfall underneath the glacier. Between the melting and the falling, I don’t think it’s going to last long!
Happy Saturday.

The sun peeks through trees and crisp, clear air on a northern morning.
Happy Thursday.
