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.

Coming home...

Similkameen Skies

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.

From the Archives, a gentle friendly February sky. 

Nothing like this here in recent weeks, but we live in hope.

Skywatch Friday


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

A tender sunrise this morning whose light in the East sent me scurrying with the camera.

Similkameen Skies from the Archives
 
No clouds here lately to help create spectacular skies at dawn and in the evening,
 - just gorgeous blue skies all day long!
 
These are from the autumn of 2010, - mostly late October.  It was weather to wonder at!
