BACK TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING AFTER THE ICE PHOTOS.

Most of today's images were taken on Monday when I took my photo to the Peachland Art Gallery.  I hoped the Mountain Goats would be on the cliffs north of Summerland and some were.  As I was coming down the hill in Okanagan Falls on the way home, I noticed six Trumpeter Swans along the lakeshore.  It was a family with two parents and four young.

That's a cactus hanging on the young ram's chin.

The juvenile Trumpeter Swans are greyish brown.

Some of the mosses came alive with the bit of rain we had.

These moss flowers were gone when I came back a couple of days later.  They have such a brief time of glory.

ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNNY 12C (54F) DAY, I WILL SHARE THE LAST OF MY ICE PHOTOS FROM A FEW DAYS AGO.

SOME PHOTOS FROM OUR RECENT MINI COLD SNAP.

All the ice images were taken along the Skaha Lake shoreline at Okanagan Falls and under the KVR railway trestle.

These bighorn sheep were right across  from the Vaseux Lake boat ramp.

PHOTOS FROM TODAY AND TWO DAYS AGO.

We walked the day before yesterday and it was a spring like day with the temperature climbing up to 11C.  Yesterday was different!  It snowed most of the day although it only stuck on the roofs, not the road.  The high was 2C.

When we went to walk our usual route this morning it was just enough higher that it was icy so we went into Okanagan Falls and walked at the lakeshore.  That turned out well as there were several interesting birds to play with.  I took my cameras with me this afternoon when I went to Oliver and got some more images on the way home.

Look what the Rock Wren has captured.  I think it is a cricket.

Aileen spotted these eagles near Olalla on our way to Keremeos for some apples the day before yesterday.  I turned around and shot from a far enough distance that they were still there when we left.
