Recently, we had some continuously windy and rainy weather for about five days, although each evening the wind died away and the atmosphere relaxed into night.
The rain was generally persistent throughout the evening and night periods but sometimes there were clear breaks as well. This picture is of one of those clear breaks. The lake was like a mill pond while there was some mist in the distance and the lights began to be visible.
Happy Sunday.
The autumn fashions are beginning to arrive.
They are still a bit muted, but are coming along.
It’s amazing how the colours suddenly started to appear about three days ago.
Happy Saturday; happy autumn. 🍂
I saw some interesting cloud formations that were lit by an almost full moon.
The moon itself was rather impressive, but I thought the clouds were more compelling. I was hoping for a better picture (this was taken with my phone – I do need to be better about remembering my camera!), but I think it conveys an idea of what I saw.
Happy Friday; happy weekend.
The rain slowed, the overcast parted for a bit and then there was this bright lake reflection as the evening darkened.
Happy Thursday.
Recent night scenes.
Happy Saturday.

Happy Tuesday.
One of the trails we like to walk/hike runs through dense agricultural areas with many orchards and grape vines.
I like keeping track of how everything is ripening; right now the peaches are being harvested. The wine grapes will be much later, however, especially depending on whether they will be used for ice wine. If that’s the case, they will remain in the fields until they have been frozen. This will concentrate the resulting juice, producing a very sweet dessert wine.
I don’t know what kind of grapes these are as the rows aren’t labelled but they seem to be doing well.
Happy Saturday.
Penticton is one of two cities in the world that is situated between two lakes. (The other is Interlaken, Switzerland.) We live in the north end near Okanagan Lake, but we used to live very near the other lake, Skaha, in the south.
A recent walk reminded me of the beauties of the smaller Skaha Lake; there was also some relief from smokey air as we had had some rain the night before.
Happy Wednesday.
My photos here show how beautiful is our world. I hope to encourage viewers to help save it from our carelessness. Today, I give you a shot of a path…
