Captions on all photos for you, I hope you enjoy Wordless Wednesday – all photos from the last week, except for one. – David
yesterday Skaha lake was ideal for on top with a paddle board, but you may notice the absence of swimmers, too cold yet
one of the many rocks kids in town are leaving like easter eggs of hope near trails in Penticton
Skaha lake at 6 am last week, cool but calm. The lake is so reflective sometimes.

A calm cloudy day yesterday lead to paddleboarding on Skaha lake 5 minutes from home
Deer in my neighborhood all the time, and I like that
In 24 hours this week, the bees arrived and the cherry blossoms exploded
yes it’s me at 16, a carhop at White Spot. I worked across from the Bayshore Inn down by Stanley Park in Vancouver.
Just a whimsical photo I took of my feet up on the wall, having a stretch ! Looking up in the world !
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?

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.
