BEAUTY IN JANUARY

 January has so far been a reasonably mild winter month. We like to walk in our nearby Mission Creek Park and in our neighbourhood, but have also enjoyed walks through our two city bird sanctuaries along Okanagan Lake.   

The beauty of bright colour in the other seasons is lost to muted tones in winter which contrast with the changing shades of sky and water. I still take my camera to catch moments that give me pleasure.

At the beach next to the marsh, these seagulls had not received 
the memo re social distancing!

Love these photos! We haven't though to wander around the bird sanctuaries this winter but now I want to! Something special to be found, even when it's pale and cold. Like vivid green bubbles!
