RAMBUCKCIOUS

I thought I would come up with a new word to celebrate my first day of being 76.  I'm going to have to watch out or I'll become one of those old codgers I keep hearing about.  These are photos I took the day before yesterday.  The bighorn ram had ten ewes with him and was near Okanagan Falls while the big buck was my company in Karen's yard while I was gathering walnuts off the ground.  The red leaves were next to the Canadian Tire store in Oliver.

BIRDS AND FALL COLOUR

 These were taken on my walk yesterday morning and on my drive up to Penticton later.

I spent quite a while there yesterday morning getting these images.
