Because we have been fortunate enough here in avoiding the worst of the drought and forest fires, we have lots of rich green to celebrate.
Tree fruit orchards abound and are producing many yummy delights from apricots to pears.
And not to be forgotten of course, vineyards.
Hostas are at their peak, with their lovely variegated leaves and notice-me flower stalks.
Isn’t summer great? Happy Saturday.
Happy Thursday.
From a trail above Okanagan Lake there are many lovely views.
We like to hike this trail a lot.
This was a beautiful day unaffected at that time by a large fire to the south of us in Washington.
The blaze crossed the border and has caused some local smoke; we understand that headway has been made by the hardworking firefighting crews, however.
Happy Wednesday.
The wine grapes are becoming plumper and plumper as they bask in the warmth and enjoy the occasional showers.
This healthy-looking bunch is tucked safely among its protective leaves at the vineyard shown above.
Happy Tuesday.
I wonder how many people have walked under the protective branches of these old trees?
Happy Saturday.

Have a good one.
Nope – and I’m really happy to say this – they are white hydrangeas. No snowballs around here!
Aren’t they beautiful?
They make a luscious and delectable visual feast.
Happy Wednesday.
This creek is less than a block away from home. The lower end of it, before it empties into Okanagan Lake, is a favourite of our resident ducks.
In the twilight of a summer evening, it’s lovely to take a stroll on the path next to the creek.
The path itself is also quite lovely. Doesn’t this look like it could be Hobbit country?
Happy Friday; happy weekend.
