As I walk and drive around I see the signs of fall becoming more pronounced. Before we know it we will transition into winter and most of the colour will be lost. Today's images were taken along the river trail in or adjoining our development except for the Vaseux Lake reflections that were taken on our way to Penticton this morning. There is a record Sockeye Salmon run in the Okanagan River this year. Apparently 900,000 Sockeye entered the Columbia River this fall and 400,000 were expected to enter the Okanagan River.
It was fun riding with my friends in the ATV club but it is impossible to get these types of images when travelling in a group. I did most of these the day before the main ride which is one of the reasons we go ahead of time and stay the extra nights.
I joined the Osoyoos Photo Club and attended my first meeting last night. We'll see where that leads me since it has been sixteen years since I was a regular member of a camera club.
Fall is definitely in the air. The rooftops were all white yesterday morning but the frost didn't hurt any plants. The trees aren't changing colour yet but lots of the shrubs are already putting on a show.
The ospreys all seem to have left for parts warmer and some of the little winter birds are already here. We're taking the motorhome and General up to Crump campground, just west of Summerland on the Summerland-Princeton Road, Thursday through Sunday. It's our ATV club windup barbeque and ride on Saturday and some of us spend a few extra days there. I had the General out for a couple short rides recently. When we return from this trip the motorhome will have to get winterized since it will be parked for the winter this year.
