A limb reaches toward the lake.

in a restaurant called Sunny's in downtown Kelowna BC.

The moon avoids the clouds and spills over the lake.

A lone tree stands out at the sky darkens.

Awesome little pug dog friend, reaching maturity, has gone through a lot, he's a fighter, like the owner.

A hairpin turn near our house.

Our only pedestrian overpass. This bridge leads from our recreation center to the newish and still being developed "business center". The crane is lit for Xmas and the Tree of Hope is there for all the city to see.

on Myra Canyon Trail, Kelowna BC.

An old wooden building welcomes in the Spring sun.

A rainstorm falls over Okanagan Lake.

today it's -3.2 & clear with a wee bit of blue sky sticking out to the west.....

 

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone!

Our small vacation destination is rapidly transforming, with towering skyscrapers now rising in the downtown core. It’s starting to feel more and more like a mini Vancouver, and while growth can bring opportunity, it’s also leaving long-time residents heartbroken. The push for densification is heavy, but with it come a slew of growing problems: homelessness, rising crime, inadequate infrastructure, and worsening traffic. The housing crisis, too, is only deepening as these new towers are built—yet they cater almost exclusively to the wealthy, leaving affordable housing even further out of reach. The focus seems to be on constructing the unaffordable, rather than addressing the needs of the people who have lived here for years.

This is "Big White". We ski here in the winter. Recently they have opened up in the summer for hiking and soon biking. This is "The Cliff" a black diamond run, the top of the chair lift is on the top right. What a stunning view. Not one I ever plan to see in the winter!

 

Wasn't she beautiful tonight?

Happy winter solstice everyone!

I went for a walk in Bertram Park this morning, and I was the only one there! It was so nice to just be able to wander around and take pictures and not have to worry about people in my shots! I even put my feet in the water, and it was surprisingly warmer than I had thought it would have been. That or my feet were passed the point of frozen! Haha....

The pitch is empty and ready to play.
