Wednesday’s Photos
Of Driftwood, Roots and Landscape Impressions
Last week I indulged in capturing a hover-fly feasting on the pollen of a daisy. On that same canoe trip, I could not resist taking photos of a driftwood sculpture and a beautifully shaped root formation laid bare by the constantly rising and falling lake level. Also the first rose hips have made their appearance, a sure sign that the fall season is upon us. Enjoy.

Great photos. My favorite is the one with the rose. The red contrast is so striking! And a rose that blooms in the fall—how wonderful.

You mentioned “nothing here to disturb the peace.” Have most people stopped visiting the lake now that it’s the middle of October?

Our lake is a little off the beaten track. Even in the summer, tourists aim to spend their time in the neighbouring Okanagon valley. Crowdy beaches and campgrounds are also a common sight during July and August. In October, my wife and I practically have the lake to ourselves.

Ah, the serene beauty of the lake! The striking colour of the hips!
I do love the tree roots as well, they almost look as if they are moving.

Our imagination leads us to see so many things in the tree roots. One needs to come to them over and over again and in a different light or angle they take on new forms and shapes.

this lake region really is beautiful and tranquil looking. and you seem to have a real knack for finding interesting driftwood, this one looks like a happy creature frolicking and rocking back on its heels.

Those tree trunks are a great reminder that we humans should leave nature on its own. Great pictures. I suppose the winter should set in early this year.

The contrast with the rose hips is lovely, but I especially like the photo just above it, with the layers upon layers of mountains receding into the distance.
