Postcards from the Travelling Duo of David and Anne
Here are some glimpses at British Columbia from some recent jaunts
Okanagan Lake in Black and White
With the gentle colours of wildflowers overlooking Lake Okanagan
Okanagan Lake, looking south towards Kelowna
Now heading north and east, after a stop in Revelstoke,
we drove to the ferry at Galena Bay, which took us to Nakusp on the Arrow Lakes
and the passage way for the mighty Columbia River flowing on its way south
These waters are wonderfully blue
— the colour in these photos has not been enhanced
and Yonder
— what is being seen??
Let's take a closer look!
Hmmm ... a glacial sinkhole? a lake?
heading south along the Lake towards the Needles Ferry
There is no charge for taking these inland ferries
This was a day so exquisite that I stopped taking photos
Closer to Home on Shuswap Lake — Bastion Mountain
And another windy, rainy day with half a rainbow
Thanks for coming along!

These are gorgeous! Lake Okanagan reminds me strongly of a reservoir lake near Kremling, on the Blue River. You may have visited with Mary J. as I kinda recall a photo. But once you are on the ferry, it's all "Alaska" memories for me! Wow. (Could that have been a little eruption making that big hole?)
I miss very few things as I always love my home but there are two things I can say I do miss from time to time: one is my rose garden in Denver and the other is vast blue waters. I am blessed here that I have at last small lakes or large ponds. Water is soothing to the soul, just knowing it is there. And I do have one tiny rose bush surviving in unnatural conditions here. I salute it.
Thanks Suzanne. Roses and water are good things to have around, and glad to share some peonies and water with you. I do not have a rose, only some non-blooming rose plants that I let grow to torment me every time I have to pass by one!! Pain but no pleasure of roses. Maybe one day one of them will bloom. Yes, perhaps it was an eruption that caused that hole...and MAYBE it's melted b/c it's HOT!! Never thought of that before. I should enquire about that hole. Thanks for writing.
