Foggy Balloon Day - Feb 3rd

Today was a day I was looking forward to. It was the balloon launch in Vernon for Winter Carnival.
I was glad they were late as I was not there for the 9 a.m. start. When I stopped at the Info Center they told me it would now be at 12:30 p.m. and at Sawiki Park.
I went there and waited.
I had fun taking pictures of the frost left by the fog.
I waited.
I talked to a nice man in the car beside me. He told me to take pictures with the sun over my shoulder. He also told me if the wind was not right they might be starting at Swan Lake or the airport.
He was right.
It was over the north end of Swan Lake.

Fog and balloons --- fun.

Fog kind of day
The first one I saw
Back into the fog (this is a colour photo)
*Wish I knew how to turn this so it is right side up
How many are there?
The fog left this on the tree by Swan Lake
I think they were going to throw a duck into a pot on the lake or something, to be the winner
Can you see all of the balloons or not?
Coming up to the duck drop
So bright and pretty now
Looks like Easter eggs to me
Too bad, he dropped and couldn't pull it up
On the way to Vernon this morning

Dolyna Ukrainian Dancers at the Perogy Supper

We got tickets for the Perogy Supper on Wednesday of last week. Later we heard they had all been sold out so we were glad to have gotten them. By Sunday evening it would have felt so nice to just stay home and relax, but we got up and went to the school. We had such a nice time there.  The supper was well organized and tasty, too. The group "A Day Late and A Dollar Short" played and sang shortly after the last of us had our plates filled.


Then it was time for the Dolyna Dancers to perform their part. The leader did such a good job of organizing and speaking as the dancers and people in the fashion show did their parts. It was a very colourful and interesting entertainment.

What a great job he did in this story dance
Up off the floor
Such cute little ones
Good job, harder to do this on carpet
Like the smiles as they dance

After their dance was done they went to sit in the front row to clap and watch the others
Great entertainment
Thanks to Mr L and the many others who put on this great evening!
