Despite blue sky and above freezing temperatures …
Winter is not over at the Arrow Lakes. I recall many winter storms in March, when schools were closed due to treacherous conditions on our highways. However, the sun feels warm and the days are getting longer with every passing week. Driving 10 km south on Applegrove Road yesterday, we reached our viewpoint that is about 300 m higher than the lake level. What a difference the change in altitude made! We spent a full hour basking in the sunshine and taking pictures.

You live in such a scenic area. Do you happen to know what the red leaves are?

These impressive plants with the red leaves are Oregon grapes.

The snow and the lake are beautiful, but that red foliage caught my eye. It looks undamaged. I’m wondering if it might be new, late winter growth. Many of our plants have red leaves when growth begins. Whether they’re new or ‘leftovers’ from last season, they’re beautiful.

So beautiful, Peter, no wonder you spent more than an hour there! Spring is slowly, slowly arriving here as well. I can’t wait to clean up the garden.
