The Slocan River is still very high from spring runoff. The snow capped, majestic mountains of the Selkirks and Valhallas feed it's over flowing banks. Soon the snow will have melted and the river will slow down and recede...then we will be able to drop the ladder and go for a swim. Jose, our old dog, is wary of the river after he fell in on the first day here. He ran out on the little wharf and stepped right onto the water like he could walk on it. Very big surprise when he found himself in deep, fast water. He had no problem getting out of the river but it made him run in circles for awhile. Now he wades into the grassy shallows and cools off there. He stays right off the wharf..... ....careful...it's high water.....

Is the current too fast for a nice float down the river? What a wonderful spot to sit and have a meal while watching the river roll by. Lovely.
Hello:
What an idyllic place to be able to watch the river and, most probably, the world float by. How wonderful to have so close to home the perfect spot for al fresco dining and quiet relaxation. But yes, one must always be aware of the potential dangers of water, so innocent and yet so destructive in certain conditions.
these pictures are tonic for a BC girl's soul.....beautiful :)
I like the tall, skinny pines. The grouping of just a few. So, what's the temp of the water, when you will venture in to its depths?
That must be cold water! Wow, no way to get a sleep in it!
Susan.. I think you have certainly found a place to soothe your soul.. just beautiful!!!
I had a good mental pic of your pup stepping out into that river.. he must have had a nasty surprise.. poor thing..
Have a lovely weekend.. love your colours today!! ciao xxx Julie
Our lake levels have been high from all the rain we've been getting.
That is a lot of water, but so pretty!
Ahhh, I'm cooling off in your Valhalla run-off! Love the word "Valhalla"...so dramatic, as in operatic!
We have a heat wave here in the Midwest...we're suffering under a huge cover of something horrible, hiding out in our houses for the next three days, they say. Until Wednesday.
Could use a little cool-off, as in the way your dog did it! Just kidding :)
you live in paradise, sue — you really do ;-)
