Riverside Park
No work for us today; the weather is just too pleasant. It's looking very much like fall only with summertime temperatures. Jump in the car, 15 minutes to town, and then we're at the park. The river is so low right now that we are able to walk along the shore quite easily (I won't bore you with the controversial details).
We go under the bridge and then onto a trail that runs parallel to the river. Tomorrow I'll post some pictures from the trail.

Clouds Around the Mountain
This is what greeted us one morning while on our camping holiday in British Columbia's southern interior. It was a bit damp and cool, but fortunately for us, we were in a cozy camper and not a tent. The gloomy and lowered sky lasted for most of the day, and then we had nice weather. I didn't mind the clouds too much. It was fascinating to watch them move over the mountains, and we couldn't have had a better vantage point for viewing nature's splendor. The campground is situated on a hill and overlooks the highway, river and railroads.
More wonderful skies here.

Trekking Canine
These photos were taken during a recent camping trip.
Our little companion, who is 13 1/2 years old, goes everywhere with us. She's getting on in years but still enjoys all of her walks. On this day we walked a section of an historic wagon road that was used in the 1800s to bring people and freight to the gold fields.

A rest at the top of an incline.
Our sweet canine friend, Bonny.

Sky Watch - August Rainbow

I took this photo of a rainbow just before I went on vacation but didn't have a chance to post it until now. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening and raining lightly. It was really more of a sun shower because a few minutes after the rain began, the sun came out. I looked out the window and was enjoying the radiance of the sun shining on the trees when a wonderful rainbow appeared in the sky. I didn't notice it at the time, but in the photo there is another very faint rainbow above the one I saw.
Many delightful skies can be seen at Sky Watch Friday
