The day began with a lot of heavy overcast but by mid-afternoon it had cleared off enough …
… to provide us with a lovely sunset.
Windless and with a relatively mild temperature of 2C (35.6F), I enjoyed a colourful late afternoon walk as the sun disappeared.
Happy Wednesday.
A single duck …
… paddles through a blushing world …
… after a crystalline winter day.
Happy Tuesday,
From time-to-time this winter we have had very lovely sunsets.
Sometimes these pink glows have been the result of a little break in the overcast during sunset …
… but at other times they have been caused by a sunny day. After a slow start, we just had one of those.
Everything was pinkwrapped, including these Canada geese who were heading for their evening roost.
Happy Wednesday.
A lovely light through the bare trees …
… lends warmth and colour to our January overcast.
Happy Friday.
The Okanagan Valley can produce some amazing cloud formations …
… at any time of year, winter or summer …
… providing fanciful views …
… of sunset cloud kingdoms …
… or alien craft …
… wherever your imagination might like to go …
… but always interesting; always beautiful.
Happy Friday.

Here in the Okanagan, the natural weather pattern in the winter is rain, but now and then we get some very precious sunny periods.
When a bit of December afternoon sun arrives …
… it’s a very lovely thing …
… to be treasured and prized to get us through the next onslaught of rain.
Happy Monday.
Two weeks ago we experienced a phenomenal winter sunset; I posted some of the pictures of it here, but there are several additional others that I quite like.
The rosy winter colours were particularly beautiful …
… and I loved the reflection on the lake’s surface.
The lake was so calm that it was an almost perfect mirror.
I stood watching this lovely show until it was over …
… so happy that I hadn’t missed it.
I hope you have a very happy – and very rosy – Thursday.
We are taking a mini-break holiday to Victoria which is on Vancouver Island, an hour-and-half by ferry from Vancouver. We had the most beautiful day for the drive through the mountains and then for the ferry trip.
Happy Thursday.
