B is for beach butterflies

While in the central Okanagan Valley this month, we wanted to take Lindy to a dog beach to see if she would swim. She had already managed to find her way from a rest area to a river, have a drink of it, and sit down in it, and she even tried the same thing with the Pacific Ocean, which didn't taste very good, so we thought we'd give her a chance to swim in a lake.

The beaches in the downtown area of Kelowna do not allow dogs, but this one, at Cedar Creek in the Okanagan Mission area, welcomes them. Some dogs were off-leash, although Lindy went into the water with her leash on. She did swim, eventually, but was not impressed by the experience. In the photo above, she is walking with Dick, but he soon brought her back to me because he had found something other than Lindy to photograph.

Butterflies. Bunches of beautiful beach butterflies!

He couldn't get close enough to the group above,

but this one, below, posed prettily for him.
