The following photo essay depicts an early morning hike and swim \u00a0on Sunday last. I hiked\u00a0<\/span>down our mountain<\/span>, along with two of my favorite gals (and two favorite wee guys), \u00a0for a quick dip in Okanagan Lake. The experience was a little bit of everything: sun and moon, light and dark, warm and cold, wet and dry. Thought for sure the hike back up would warm us up–had to do it bare foot to keep my toes from remaining blue and numb. The water was warm enough but without direct sun overhead, one never really dries off or warms up…<\/span><\/p>\n
