October 7th, 2020

                       Losing oneself in the blue of the sky, and the fabulous colours of autumn.....


                       Yesterday, when the sun shone and the weather was reminiscent of summer.

                                   Early in the day Vincent, the camera and I went south, 

                                                  into the lower Similkameen,
      
                                     planning to record the loveliness of the fall season
 
                                              as it is in this part of the world!!  
 


                                                                Festooned Fences



and the river running by



                                                                           Scarlet Sumac



                            The rills in the Cawston Hills, made by erosion and heavy rainstorms -  

                                                                       We lived just to the right,

                                                                        on the next thirty acres


                     A beautiful apricot tree - its leaves all turned the colour of the fruit it bore


                   An Osprey nest atop a telephone pole, - a familiar sight in southern British Columbia



                                                                     The hills across the valley


                                                        Sumac intermingled with gold


                                                              New Plantings for a vineyard


Two pea hens crossing the road -

at least I think they were hens, - or perhaps cocks who had lost their tails????



                                    It was really a lovely day, - and thanks to the chauffeur, 

                                           whose company is always dear and welcome.

I enjoyed your photos of the beautiful country around you. It is a bit different from where I live, although, we are also getting the lovely colors of autumn. I love your descriptions as they always add to the pictures shown. Thanks so much for the wonderful drive through the countryside!
