A very windy, very rainy storm passed through the valley and brought a heavy, dark, moisture-laden overcast. After storming all day, it started to clear toward late afternoon.
Those heavy clouds broke up, the wind dropped off and the sun shone.
Orphan clouds hung about for a bit, but they didn’t last long …
… and there was enough of the day left to give us a pretty sunset.
Here it is from one angle …
… and from another.
Happy Sunday.
Your travel life has the essence of a dream. It is something outside the normal, yet you are in it. It is peopled with characters you have never seen…

Here are some varied summer evening-sky scenes to remember as this lovely season begins to disappear into autumn.
A blue hour with moon …
… a silhouetted mountain …
… an overcast sunset …
… and sunset-reflected clouds …
… together with a lovely view of evening Rocky Mountains …
… are images to take with us as summer unwinds.
Happy Sunday.
We have had extremely smoky conditions since Wednesday with a nearby forest fire contributing a lot of the smoke while more has been heading from those brutal fires 2200 km (1367 miles) to the north of us in the Northwest Territories.
After a hazy evening on Wednesday we soon became absolutely choked with smoke and hit a “10” on the air quality index, which means that people really should stay inside unless wearing a mask.
Looks rather awful, doesn’t it?
We are thankfully expecting several days of rain within the next 24 hours though, so I hope we will soon be looking more like the above picture very soon!
August is usually very hot at its start and becomes cooler towards its end. Not so this year, here at least. Our opening temperatures were somewhat lower than usual but as the month progressed, we became consistently hotter, especially over the last couple of weeks. Nevertheless, as summer winds down – it officially ends on September 22, just over three weeks from now – here’s a look back.
We’re still in slo-mo as it remains very hot, so our summer may linger past its official end date.
Happy Sunday.
The sun goes down over a very hot Okanagan Valley …
… while a duck cools off near a pond …
… as it’s cooler there …
… rather than near the sleepy creek …
… everything ready to relax into night’s enfolding and refreshing respite.
Happy Wednesday.
The day closes …
… the lake drowses …
… in the late summer heat.
Happy Saturday.
