April is a splendid time to visit BC’s
beautiful Okanagan Valley. Spring is in the air and if you stand still you can
almost hear the season come to life. The
grass grows greener with every hour that passes and the fruit blossoms fairly
burst forth from previously bare brown branches. Scattered in neighbourhood
gardens, brilliant tulips and daffodils paint colour into the landscape. The
birds chatter, the bees hum and small clouds of aphids float on gentle puffs of
the breeze. I’m not so keen on the latter but I totally enjoy the sounds and
scents of the other signs of springtime.
Lyle took the two pictures below. The first
is of a mass of white blossoms with a perfect blue sky in the background. These
blossoms were too far away in the distance for me to see, but Lyle took the
second picture in our parking lot. This
tree had a mass of pink blossoms and I could even reach out to touch the soft
petals. Spring is definitely my favourite season.
