There’s nothing like a lovely fresh brook. Thanks for sharing your photos, Stuart.
Our weather north of 60 (for non-Canadians, this is a common expression used to describe the subarctic and arctic portions of the country, meaning farther north than 60° north latitude; by comparison, Naples, Italy, is at 41°) has lately been beautiful. It has been sunny, warm and windless, and best of all, bugless!
This weather has produced some fabulous views of Great Slave Lake, including sunsets.
Happy Thursday.
Penticton is one of the few communities in the world that sits between two lakes. Below is a photo of Skaha Lake; we lived near this lake up until last November when we moved to the other end of Penticton and the larger Lake Okanagan.
Happy Wednesday!

Three weeks ago, the Little Bison River looked like this:
And now:
At the moment, we have 18 full hours of daylight, and as a result we are warming quickly (by comparison, Toronto, which is 19° further south, is getting 15 hours). By the solstice in June, we will have 20 hours of daylight with about 4 hours of twilight.
All the plants and animals have to take advantage of this intense period of light and warmth before it again becomes cold.
Happy Sunday and for Canadians, Happy long weekend!
