Daisy’s family were heading out of town for a few days, so they asked if I could stay and look after their sweet little girl. Daisy is getting up in age and no longer enjoys going into the mountains when there is snow on the ground. She still enjoys summer there though. I met Daisy… Continue reading Spending a Few Days with Daisy

Continuing on the Vedder Rotary Trail – part 2
While I was on the bridge, I looked up and saw these 2 Swans flying by.

Today’s plan was to reach the bridge on the trail and cross the river to the other side. Next time I will park at the bridge and continue. I believe that this will be the 1/2 way mark – but I could be wrong – LOL I am starting in the Great Blue Heron Nature… Continue reading Continuing on the Vedder Rotary Trail – part 1
Adventures at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
According to the signs at the Reserve, the trail walking on the side of the lake where the Herons nest will be closed beginning March. Otherwise the number of people walking by the nests would disturb the Herons.

I don’t know where the stream goes as the trail ends, but the stream keeps going. Lots of evidence showing the busy Beavers work. Last time… Continue reading Views on a Sunny Day – part 3

In Manitoba, winter lasts for about 6 months. Many of the days have bright sunlight, but on the bright sunny days, the temperatures often plunge… Continue reading Views on a Sunny Day – part 1
A New Mountain Trail to Walk
It was mostly cloudy this morning but the sun was trying to show itself when I headed out to see if I could find a new trail that had just opened up. I don’t know what the name of the mountain is (or if it even has a name), but it had been in the… Continue reading A New Mountain Trail to Walk
Spring at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve seemed like a great place to go for a walk yesterday. The ice is mostly gone, but on some of the little ponds where there is no moving water, there is still a layer of ice. I didn’t test to see how thin the ice was. Mallard Ducks and… Continue reading Spring at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
