Bit of beach in foreground with lake stretching into the distance, a lot of gulls sitting on the water and some flying, and a sculpture of children on the right shore. The cloud is low and the sky is grey.

🪶 Just in case anyone’s wondering where all the gulls are! #OkanaganLake

Went on a short hike on Paul's tomb trail in Kelowna BC. What a great place to hike especially this time of the year. Looking at the pics you would think you're far away from the city but not #OkanaganLake

A miniature waterfall near the Peach Orchard Trail, with some pink coloured vegetation within its waters. Photo taken in Summerland, BC, Canada, by Mikaufoxy (I'm hungry.)

A photo of one side of Okanagan Lake. In the background to the left is a boat marina, the right a condominium building that's near completion. This photo was taken in Summerland, BC, Canada, by Mikaufoxy (that's me!)

A photo of Okanagan Lake. There is a boat and a waterskier out in the middle of the lake. Photo taken in Summerland, BC, Canada, by Mikaufoxy (hello, is it me you're looking for?)

Peach Orchard Park. This fenced area is an off-leash dog park, and there are condos at the top of the hill back there. This is where the trail begins. Photo taken in Summerland, BC, Canada, by Mikaufoxy (its-a me!)

Went on the Peach Orchard Trail hike in Summerland today. The last third of the trail was challenging, but I tackled it. And it was oh so satisfying when I finished it.

Happy #WorldLakeDay! 💙 Our beautiful Okanagan lakes, from Osoyoos to Kalamalka, are vital for wildlife, climate, and our economy. But they're at risk from us! Let's protect them from invasive species, pollution, and overuse. 🌊

Installation in bronze (?) of 3 quite skinny children playing. Two, a girl with a ponytail and smaller boy in a ball cap, seem to be in motion standing on rocks, and a third small boy is jumping from one rock to another with his arms in the air.

I just love this installation on #OkanaganLake in #Penticton and walked by it today.

#Alberta teen who wants to swim the 108 miles of #OkanaganLake in 48 hours says "I've been training for 2.5 years, I can swim 25 miles"

I wish them well, but this seems like a failure before they even get started

View of beach and lake from adjacent grassy area with table and chairs. On table in foreground are 2 mugs and 2 plates with cake.

We’ve decided that since we’re not going on a trip this summer, we’re going to enjoy #Penticton to the utmost. Yesterday we had espresso martinis and truffle fries on a restaurant patio before swimming in #OkanaganLake, and this morning enjoyed coffee and cake at Roadz End near the marina.

Had my first full lake immersion of the year today in #OkanaganLake in #Penticton. Few things make me feel so great. 🏊‍♀️

First beach day of the hot season! (Not pictured: flying ants, smelly cigarette smokers… minor annoyances, all things considered)

I did something CRAZY and bought a couple rolls of C41. I can sure see the CA on my 55mm kit lens, so I'm glad I do more B&W 😂
