After a recent wind storm, Dad decided that it was time to clean some of the branches that have been falling and getting caught in this Chinese Elm. First he tried tying a rope to this branch and pulling it out with his tuck, but it was wedged in too tight and wouldn’t come, so he had to cut it and then the two halves fell the rest of the way.

After the Storm
The End of Summer
This time of year kind of makes me sad… the days are getting shorter and cooler. Got a few shots of solitary people by the lake in here – it just seems like a bit of a metaphor for the season to me. These pictures were taken at Okanagan Beach in Penticton and Sunoka Beach in Summerland.

Giant’s Head Mountain
Giant’s Head Mountain is a popular vantage point in Summerland, so I took some nephews and a niece up there when they were out for a visit to let them have a look around.

Random Phone Booth
This phone booth kind of grabbed my attention. This was taken when I was at my family reunion up at Green Lake. It was just sitting there beside the road out there in the wilderness. It really struck me as a random spot to have such a thing. There were no parks or beaches or other public areas nearby, just this random lonely phone booth. And then when I was walking by with my niece we discovered that it is not only a lonely phone booth – it is also a rather sad phone booth since someone appears to have had a bad conversation on it and took out their frustration on the receiver.
