The orchards are finally blooming here in Kelowna. The cherry trees are alive with the promise of the juicy orbs come July. The peach trees are ready to bear my favourite stone fruits. Very soon we will have vineyards celebrating buds breaking open assuring another year wine filled year ahead. 

With the chilly spring weather it is undoubtable that the Okanagan wine valley is about 2 weeks behind schedule overall. However, a hot summer is predicted and I really hope it is true. There’s nothing I am craving more than beach time with the heat of the sun upon one of my favourite Kelowna beaches. 

Until then I’m photographing the spring blossoms and blooms as if proof that the vitamin D I need is just around the corner.

 

Just because I’m so excited to see the cherry orchards in bloom…another cherry blossom pic.

Cherry trees in bloom makes my heart sing in relief. We’re a bit behind schedule here in the Okanagan Valley but a hot summer is predicted to make up for it.

Love these colours! We are reaching summer temperatures of 26-29 degrees Celsius this week! I’m in need of a tan.

Back to lovely sun filled evening walks. Soon this winery will be filled with growing grapes and tourists. Go wine tasting in peace while you can locals!
