Today’s slides are about a misty morning ride to the plateau overlooking Bluffers Park. Once upon a time, it was an apple orchard and some trees are still there, unsprayed and filled with natural bounty.
The bluffs are eroding, sometimes dramatically. In the bikes shot, you see two fences. The older one has posts dangling in space over a big 30 foot chunk that cleaved off. More recent cleavages come right up to the new fence.
It’s a natural, inevitable process, but attempts are being made to slow it. The shoreline is shaped with rocky quoins, to break up wave erosion. Streams and rivulets that eat away from the land side are channeled into pipes, then out to the lake.

Your bike rides are inspiring. Great pictures and story.
I hope people plant those apple seeds. Okanagan has no old seed trees.
Fruit with seed is becoming rare. Flowers that seed, and veggies.
Yesterday I planted young balsam trees that produce seed the grouse will eat.
Great photos yet again. Need to fire up our bikes again!
