A lovely light through the bare trees …
… lends warmth and colour to our January overcast.
Happy Friday.

Cloud Sculptures
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.

A Bit of Sun
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.
Winter Sunset, Part 2
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.
Victoria Ferry
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.
Winter Sunset Part 1
We recently had a beautiful winter sunset.
The very air around us was enveloped in the loveliest pink hue.
The weather conditions were perfect: a calm lake, snow in the mountains and a beautiful gloaming light …
… bathing a lone duck in a flawlessly rosy reflection.
Happy Tuesday.
November Sunset
The sun starts to go down quite early now. I was out for my regular afternoon ramble and to my surprise – I really shouldn’t have been – saw the sun beginning its sink at 3:22 p.m. Given that we have mountains all around, we are totally dark by about 4:30. My, that really is early!
The sunset felt wintery, too. The thin, veil-like cloud, the slight chill from the wind and the tint of the sunset itself all contributed to that sense.
But it’s November. A little bit of a wait, but I’ll nevertheless soon be counting down to spring!
Happy Saturday.
