Wednesday’s Photos
Relief from Smoke and Heat
Last Friday on our way home from Vernon we stopped at the Monashee Summit. What a pleasant surprise to see the forest around Lost Lake untouched by the wildfires! For the first time in weeks the air we breathed in was crisp and clean. Dragonflies were dancing above the lake’s surface and the view was like out of a fairytale book. Enjoy.

I’m so glad you found some of your special space unspoiled. The dragonfly’s quite wonderful. It looks as though you’re beginning to develop some signs of autumn — both the colors and the fading flowers.

She used her old Canon camera at Lost Lake. On that she had handed back her Panasonic Lumix day to the store for repairs.

My Lumix is gone. It was a present from my wife 2 years ago. Must be in the house somewhere but I tried to find it at least 10 times…

Happy clearing air. I had to remind myself that for a dragonfly German goes with Latin-derived Libelle.

I was going to mention that first but decided not to because it’s a diminutive, and German went for the non-diminutive form.
