Prince Rupert

We are in Prince Rupert on British Columbia’s northern Pacific coast, and the views and scenery have been stunning.

This was our view from a restaurant where we had dinner.

As we enjoyed our meal we also enjoyed the sunset and the frolicking bald eagles.

We saw many, many of them calling to each other, swooping, diving and putting on quite a display of their aerial prowess.

Happy Wednesday.

March in Review I

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. 🐇

Bright Captures

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.

Nuthatch cuteness.
Eagle magnificence.
A butterfly tea rose.
A sunflower with friend.
Southern sunset beauty.

Happy Tuesday.
