It was a pleasant, sunny Sunday, the first day of Standard Time. I took a drive to admire the colours of autumn in the orchards and vineyards around Osoyoos. (Richard McGuire Photo)

The setting sun lights up clouds above Vaseux Lake as yellow vines still give off a glow.

As dusk falls, deer become active. This is on conservation land, but nearby vineyards have high fences, sometimes electrified, to keep the deer out.
