Blue skies, blue water, and in the distance the blue hills of the South Okanagan

Morning sunshine lights the edges of gentle clouds in the Similkameen, 

and etch the delicate branches of a neighbour's  white birch

The setting sun bathes the western sky in a wash of pink

and in the east the moon rises behind an intricate network of winter branches

A perfect autumn day.

Skywatch Friday October 28th, 2011 A busy day in town and now I am late with my Skywatch contribution....... Here are some views of a beautiful sunrise earlier this week, when whoever is in charge of production was out painting with their broad paintbrush - gorgeous pastel bands of pink and orange and gold and blue and grey.

Similkameen Skies

A lovely, gentle sunrise this morning, with a little deepening of molten gold and orange.  I caught a glimpse of brightening skies, promising a colourful arrival of the sun and was out the door and across the parkland at the back where there are no wires, just a lovely view of wide skies and hills.

Similkameen skies are gentle and benign these days.  Here is this morning's sunrise.....a whisper of pink, a touch of gold and then we're bang into the last of a sweet September with blue skies and puffy clouds.

It is just after 6 a.m.   I am sitting at the table, making little lists for the day when out of the corner of my eye \i see through the slats of the vertical blind that the world is awash with pink light.

I pick up the keys to the back gate and am out the door in a flash, camera in hand.  I have determined that the parkland behind us is the best place to take pictures without criss-crossed wires, and so it is!  Lovely sunrise.

Enjoy....

Similkameen Skies

Blue summer skies and hazy summer hills are a backdrop for sunflowers in the garden on the hill, who complain to me of chickweed growing around their ankles.....
