I am still amazed at the green.  The weather has mostly been cool and dull with a few showers: one day we had a noisy thunderstorm and several short deluges – the first real rain of the year.

The coolness prolonged the fresh green colour, which can disappear in a week.

 

 

The thunder showers put a fresh coat of white on the high mountains.

The river is likely as full as it is going to get this spring, but is still very low compared with most years.

At last the weather broke and we had a few days of gorgeous weather.

 

I had to make a trip down the Hill to Bella Coola to get a brace fitted for my replaced knee.  It was a splendid day.  A few clouds made for rich shadows and colours.

Mount Stupendous, seen from my friends’ yard, was spectacular.

The forest floor flowers were lovely but I had time only for a few quick snaps.

Lady-slipper orchids.

Close to home, the weather began to deteriorate again.

I want the rain now, though. My garden is seeded and the soil is still bone dry. I don’t have enough water in the well to spare for much of the garden.
