Wet and cooler days

It is never inspiring for me to launch into a rainy day. The world looks glum in the rain and I have to be careful with my camera. But launch I did, but not very far. I got a quick shot of my Mother's lilacs glistening in the rain. Then, I drove off to the Schubert Drive Lookout along the North Thompson River. 

I pulled into the lookout just before 8 to find two vehicles already parked there. I suspect people like to sit and watch the river with their morning coffee in hand. 

I tiptoed around the puddles to get a view north to the Halston Bridge. This north river is very muddy and turbulent. It comes out of the mountains to the north. The surface of the river has a lot of debris including whole trees. 

I got a shot of the totems and a view to the downtown looking south. A view east included my mountains across the river. 

This little park had but one floral offering this morning - the first iris I've found this spring. 

I picked up some breakfast in the drive-thru and was gratefully home again before 9. 

I'm in for the day with my stitching at hand. Should have that step completed today. AMEN!
