Winter came early this year.
And with it, a chance to view the damage from the spring.









Many of Kelowna's private docks built across public land that were destroyed in the spring floods,
today remain as modern day ruins.

On last weekend's Historical Walk of Mount Pleasant with James Johnson,
I saw and was fascinated by these forgotten tattered remains,
perhaps of things once proudly held.










Maybe I was thinking as well of the end of 16 years of Liberal Party rule in British Columbia.

During an evening wander with a few members of Kelowna Photo Walks,
I saw this beautiful young woman
just chilling with her book, a coffee and a cigarette.

Instead of trying to get a quick sneaky shot,
I just asked her.

I love the results.










When in doubt,
it is best to ask.

now 60 years old.

Thank you all,
blessing to our times,
blessing for today
and each day to come...

At birth I feel like I won the lottery,
but that is no reason to pull up the draw bridge,
and become oblivious to the world around us.
