IT'S BLOSSOM TIME IN THE ORCHARDS ALREADY.

Aileen and I went to Osoyoos yesterday to attend the Art Walk which is the first Friday of the month.  I spent some time at the gallery I have photos in then we went to six other art venues.  Of course I took my cameras along so I could get a few photos of the orchards.  This morning we did our usual walk and gathered a few more photos.

March 30th moon two days before full.

This was on our way looking for northern lights a while back.  You need to keep a sharp eye out on the local back roads.

Shuttleworth Creek at Okanagan Falls was full of snow melt and that is what is coloring Vaseux Lake downstream.
