If you’re stuck indoors and unable to get out to enjoy nature at present, this series is for you. I’m trying to brighten the days by posting pictures of natural beauty.

If, on the other hand, you’re lucky enough to be free, maybe you’ll do what you can for those less fortunate, and share this widely, so others can enjoy it? Thank you.
This hidden gate is amazing. This is so incredibly lush. Beautiful photography. Love to you both. ❤️💕Joni

That little gate is only accessible because Valerie spent a good two hours removing nettles, brambles and bindweed from it around two years ago! At that point, you couldn’t open it, Joni. This shot was taken this July, following a pretty steep climb, and was followed by a walk through the gate and across the hillside field, where llamas now graze in large pens.

These photos are lovely, especially the first one! Looks so cool and relaxing, as do the rapids. It’s very hot here (36° yesterday).

Thanks, Lynette. We’ve yet to reach 30C here in July. You’ll be noticing the heat after your long spell in cooler climes!

Yes, that’s very true, but we have air conditioning (so happy about that as it’s predicted we will have 40° by the end of the week) and a beach nearby.

Wow! 40C. Never happened here; our highest was last July at 37.8C in a different part of the country. Enjoy the beach!

It normally gets quite hot here in the B.C. interior around the end of July, beginning of August. 40° is actually typical, but as you have noted, I’m not used to it now!

That air conditioning will be a blessing, then. Our daughter lives in Darwin, which is in the tropics, and she says it’s absolutely essential.

I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona, where 50° wasn’t a shock. I remember one time crossing the tarmac to my airplane and my shoes were sticking to it slightly. I bet that Darwin is like that, too.

50C! Too darned hot for me. Mind you, Valerie is a ‘fur coat in the Sahara’ person, so she’d be fine with it. We’re expecting 24C here today and maybe 29C tomorrow. Just come in from the garden. Why is it when hard work is needed in the garden, the temperatures soar?

Oh yes, that’s always true!
Valerie would have been very comfortable with her fur coat today as we reached 40°. 😉 We sat outside in the shade for a bit, and it was really hot!
