I was just about to get into my bed last night when I looked out the window. The moon and the clouds were amazing to watch – so I grabbed my camera and snapped some photos from my apartment in Chilliwack, British Columba. This morning, everything is bright & sunny.

This morning was perfect for taking photos from my balcony. Until yesterday I had not seen (or heard) the doves in many years. When I owned my home in Winnipeg, there had been Mourning Doves who often visited, and nested nearby – but in the last few years they had completely disappeared.

I had to head for the Vancouver area this morning and decided to leave a bit earlier than required, so I could stop in at the Zoo. Looking back at my posts, it seems my last visit there was in March. The last time I was there, the birds were still under lock-down due to… Continue reading Greater Vancouver Zoo
