Wednesday’s Photos
Yearning for Colour
A little bit of green (Hope) provided by the Ponderosa pine tree and a sprinkle of red (Love) with courtesy from the rose hips go a long way to cheer up our hearts on a soggy, rainy winter day in the Kootenays. Temperatures 10 degrees above normal in April are quite common but not in January in our neck of the woods. I took the two photos 30 minutes before dark. Enjoy.

Great pictures. The weather really is going haywire, isn’t it?

At least there is still cheer to be found, something I’m very grateful for. I’m sad for all the people and other creatures for whom that isn’t the case.

No snow down here, but did we have a lot of rain! I remember complaining about the drought in California just a few months ago. But no more. Now I complain about the floods and mud slides and fallen trees!

I hope you will get a break from all the disasters that you have been getting in California lately.

Nature doesn’t know what to do. Maybe some insects prefer not to sleep throught winter? And when it’s spring they are exhausted?!

Even after Christmas, red and green make lovely seasonal colors. I especially enjoyed seeing the rose hips. There’s always a bit of beauty around, and you’re quite good at finding it!

Is climate change evident in your region? Hope to spend some days in a region with snowfall. I know it is not something people who live in such places want to experience day after day but for me, this is a different world, altogether.

Climate change is very noticeable in our area. Prolonged heat waves with wildfires in the summer and milder winters are now the norms in our part of the country.

That’s notable. Environmentalists are warning about this for quite some time.
