Stormy skies have some Kelownians awe-struck

As we get closer to spring we can’t help but dream of the warm sunshine, blossoms and the countdown down to beach days.

But we can’t forget to show some love to the March and April showers that will sure enough result in May flowers and the all around greenness we love.

While some of us may be inside curled up with a good book, or favorite tv show listening to the rain drops fall against our window, others are out looking up at the beautiful grey clouds with wonder.

Here are a few of our favourite photos you guys have hashtagged #KelownaNow and #Kelowna in on social media embracing the rainy day.

Early morning delight in Kelowna. The clouds are parting and the Canada geese in the field beside us sre making their loud chatter every time they land or take off and right now in the spring time when a few small marshy areas form we have hundreds of the land and take off. It's like a Canada goose airport, none of them ever fly into each other. #wanderlust #adventure #traveltheworld #photooftheday #exploretocreate #explorebc #instatravel #worldplaces #justgoshoot #agameoftones #okanaganexplorers #tbt #wondwerwandertravel #travelgram #hikingday #pnwcollective #hellobc #kelownanow #travels #beautifulbc #bucketdreamers #adventurethatislife #wilderness #hikingadventures #lostplaces #cityscapes #flashofdelight #nothingisordinary #unterwegs

Sometimes it's okay for life to feel still. The waves will come soon enough so enjoy the peace while it's here 🙏❤ 🌊 . . . #thoughtsfromthetank #enjoythestillness #likeglass #okanaganlake
