Captions on all photos for you, I hope you enjoy Wordless Wednesday – all photos from the last week, except for one. – David
In 24 hours this week, the bees arrived and the cherry blossoms exploded
Okanagan lake and #1 with her camera enjoying the day
A calm cloudy day yesterday lead to paddleboarding on Skaha lake 5 minutes from home
Just a whimsical photo I took of my feet up on the wall, having a stretch ! Looking up in the world !
one of the many rocks kids in town are leaving like easter eggs of hope near trails in Penticton
yes it’s me at 16, a carhop at White Spot. I worked across from the Bayshore Inn down by Stanley Park in Vancouver.
Deer in my neighborhood all the time, and I like that
Skaha lake at 6 am last week, cool but calm. The lake is so reflective sometimes.
yesterday Skaha lake was ideal for on top with a paddle board, but you may notice the absence of swimmers, too cold yet
Look at those prices on the signs behind you. Those were the days!

I thought it was crazy expensive at the time. Who would pay 89 cents for a burger? I think when I started there i was earning 1.60 per hour but after a few weeks it went up to 2.10. Plus I often made a 1.00 a tip and I saved my paycheque and lived off my tips so I could save up for my first car. Mind you I worked two shifts a week usually so I had 15 dollars a week, I mean how could you spend all that?

My daughter has been painting rocks like crazy. We will have to leave them out and about, thanks for the inspiration! 🙂

Thanks Jane, it is special to me. When I was a child my Dad brought us to this valley to go tenting. Those were carefree days as childhood is supposed to be. Now I can drive by the campground and remember those days, and simpler times.

I wanted to share more of the lake but decided to make it a mix. Thank you Sandra, you would enjoy walking along the lake when it is like that. I saw an osprey as it flew right over my head that morning. ♥

I know I would love that lake, and I can’t wait to actually see an Osprey, I have only seen them in photos.

You were a cute 16 year old 🙂 🙂 Love the opening photo with the lovely vista and blossom and the long shot of the lake. Clouds, sky, water… always a great combination.
