Frosty Day

It was a day full of hoar frost and that is quite unusual for this area.
The fog was quite thick and not letting any sunshine through until about three o'clock.
My friend told me that it was so pretty on their hill.

I was happy to get out there and take a few photos between appointments.

Full Moon

It was so kind of Jackie to call me as she was out for her walk yesterday and let me know how big and beautiful the moon was.

I went out with my camera and found this moon above the houses on our street.

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
