A Misty Morning

Skywatch Friday
November 29th, 3013

The mist lies low on the hills and in the orchards this morning,
but as the sun rises the whole valley is suffused
with beautiful shades of rose and blue and lavender
 and suddenly a grey day is filled with magic.

Similkameen Skies


Not Similkameen skies today,
 
 but a wonderful November sunset from David, my son, in the Chilcotin country of B.C.
 
 Taken last evening.
 
Today they are blanketed in a foot of snow!!!

A last October Fling

Pewter Skies

October favoured us with one last beautiful sunrise, before the first snow arrived, then left, and in its place November's stormy pewter skies bear down upon us.......










 
Inside some toe-tapping music,  the smell of bread baking and some colourful handknitted mittens on the go all combine to lend a cheery atmosphere to nature's gloomy offerings.

Watch for sunshine!!!
Thanks to Sylvia, Sandy and Yogi!

Coming home...

Similkameen Skies
November 1, 2013

 
 
 
Between the Rockies and the Kelowna Airport
Kootenay waters....
 
Prairie skies are dear to my heart
but British Columbia has its own special beauty.

Similkameen Skies

February 14th, 2013
Catch as Catch Can…….

Pretty sunrises here have been sparse on the ground, and even sparser in the eastern sky – as scarce as hen’s teeth, as they say.

However yesterday was an exception and the morning started off gently with  sweet pinks and roses.

Skywatch Friday


Finally, a patch of blue in our Similkameen skies, socked in all of January with  mists and
 
fog and dreary grey clouds
