No matter what the weather is doing I love this lake. I grew up by the water is almost all the places I lived (and there was a lot) growing up. Other than when I lived Phoenix AZ I spent my life living by either the ocean or a big lake. When I moved to Calgary I didn’t realize I would miss the water so much. When you spend your life by the water you kind of take it for granted. Only when there is a lack of beaches and waterfront do you realize how much you enjoyed it, at least that’s how it has been for me.
Now that I’m back by the water I am loving it. From time to time I start to second guess our move from Calgary to Kelowna, but as soon as I get near that lake it makes me happy and it is a nice reminder that we made the right move. For me, this lake is life.

Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Must admit I’ve not heard of Kelowna but the city and the lake both look beautiful!
Ya it’s a small city so I’m not surprised by that and your right it is definitely beautiful. Makes for good picture taking. ๐
We moved from Medicine Hat to Penticton a few years back (I work in the north however) and at first I second-guessed it as well. Seems to be part of the process. ๐
Ah nice to know ๐
I know what you mean about living by a large body of water. I live by Lake Ontario. I can see it from my windows, and walk there in 4 minutes
(I only have to cross a foot bridge). Although it’s one of the smaller Great Lakes, you cannot see the other side.
Kelowna is a lovely city, and the shot of the lake is stunning. You must be happy raising your kids there!
Yes we are pretty happy here so far. I’m sure we’ll be more happy when all this work on our house is done and spring hits :).
That lake though, yes I remember it well. It really does feel like the ocean. I remember always thinking that back when I lived there.
What a view! Love this beautiful wide-lens shot!
Thank you very much!
Where I grew up in New Jersey, the beach was about an hour away. Here in sunny Florida, the bayou is right across the street and the beach is just a few miles. You got it right, Rob. Living on the water is the best.
For sure hey! Sounds like you got it made down there ๐ I’ma have to come down and check you out one day.
My son will grab you and wanna talk hockey! ๐
Haha anytime! ๐
Looks amazing!!
Thank you Anita!
