Happy Sunday.
Although March can be a rather iffy month when it comes to weather, I did get some photos that I liked.

Ducks and fish together in the Japanese garden koi pond. They paid no attention to each other.

Evening lake reflection …

… and a rosy reflection goose.

Okanagan Lake from a beach in Naramata …

… and visiting spring deer.
Easter greetings. 🐇
A sunset flight over Okanagan Lake …

… appeals to our avian desires …

… and to the romantic in all of us …

… a tranquil end to the day that turns on tomorrow’s promises.
Happy Monday.
In common with the rest of western Canada, we’ve suddenly turned colder. We’re still above 0C (32F) during the day but are going below 0 at night. Meanwhile, Vancouver, very unusually, is apparently going to get wet snow and minus temperatures overnight as well. Ugh.
Of course, here in the Okanagan Valley we have it comparatively easy. Much of the prairies are getting highs around -20C (-4 F). Strangely though, a lot of the east is coming in at +20C (68F) but may be getting much colder toward the end of the week. Nevertheless, if you’re about to travel from east to west, a 40 degree temperature difference might make for a bit of a packing challenge – such wild weather!
So to take our minds off these bizarre differences, I thought we could do with some brighter pictures of what is to come.





Happy Tuesday.

These were taken less than 10 minutes apart … from Marrowstone I have to cross Indian Island to get home in Port Townsend. The top photo is looking …
Looking East and West at Sunset
Beautiful sunset/cloudscape photos from Allan J Jones. A visit to his photoblog is well worth the time – he has posted so many gorgeous pictures.
We had a rainy day but the evening skies were beautiful with cloud striations and a nascent sunset partially obscured by overcast.


Happy Thursday.

Beautiful, but I’ll be happy to see spring!
Happy Monday.
