Skywatch Friday

March 26th Earth Day

Blue skies and quiet waters in the sunny Okanagan


Enjoying the sunshine on the beach at Skaha Lake, 
and across the waters our grandson's lakeside hone






Meanwhile, back at the ranch in the Similkameen
the lowering clouds brood over K Mountain

Similkameen Skies


At last, on Monday a lovely sunrise.



Not spectacular, but promising despite the old saying,
 "Red Sky in the Morning
Shepherd's warning".


I moved the straw mulch from the garden while the sun shone.

Similkameen Skies

Skywatch Friday

Friday, March 4th, 2011

When dawn arrived on the last day of February the hills were all veiled with snow clouds and mist,



but by noon we were giddy with blue skies and sunshine




The air was balmy




and felt like spring



despite the fact the hills were still covered with snow




When evening came, towards the west the bushes were burning
and the flaming clouds stretched out in all directions

A pretty promise for a Shepherd's Delight
