Fall is definitely here. Is winter on the way?

It’s hard to tell what the weather will be doing from day to day. Birders continue their weekly trips, getting ready for the Christmas Bird Count period.

Hikers continue to hike on Wednesdays, sometimes walking through some snow.

Bicyclists are resting their bikes for the winter.

Botanists are also resting for the winter. But we have seen photos of Sagebrush Buttercups at the UBC Okanagan campus and in Black Mountain / sntsk‘il’ntən Regional Park. Are these the last of the season or the first of the season?
