Sun Peaks


We are staying for a few days at a ski resort about 2 hours north of home. No, I don't ski :)
This is the view from the living room of the house we are in.

Franz Joseph Glacier


Well, I finished it at last.... only took me 9 months, but who said I had to hurry?
Anyway, 16 x 20 inches oil on canvas, comments welcome. I like it anyway :)

Painting again


I've recently been doing some work on a painting I started in April/09. Oil 20 x 16 inches. It's from a photo I took of the Franz Joseph Glacier in NZ. I like it so far but don't hold your breath for the finished item :)

My Home


Just thought I should correct a possible misunderstanding. The posting a few days back entitled "Home" actually shows a house across the road from our house. That pic was just to show the lousy weather that greeted me. Anyway here is a photo of our place on College Drive. Yes, this one was taken on a more typical day in the Okanagan.

November Sunrise


Was around this morning as the sun was about to rise and got this photo. Soon it will be photos of snow and stuff :( At the moment still golfing... have to keep moving or freeze to the grass lol. Yes that is Kalamalka Lake in the foreground.

Home


Home again after a great time in Oz..... but look at the weather which greeted me. Not the greatest for sure.

I intend to keep the blog running but not the almost daily that it has been. To all who have been following my travels this time, I hope you enjoyed. I did, especially the comments you made. Thank you.

Koala Park





Had a great time today at the Koala Park, where there are in fact all sorts of Australian animals and birds, mostly being cared for until they can be reintroduced to the wild. Had to take a few photos of course. Also got one of both my grandkids together which I title "My Street Kids".... they were engrossed in watching the building of a brick wall just along the road. The rest of the pics are of a Dingo (Ozzy wild dog)...The feeding of a Kangaroo...The kids petting a Koala. Hope you can sort out which is which.
