Yesterday I headed back to finally get moving again on the Vedder River Rotary Trail. I don’t know why they used such confusing signs in the bridge location. I had no problem following the trail until I got to the bridge. Well, I did have a little problem when I got to the huge pile… Continue reading More Than 1/2 Done on Vedder River Rotary Trail

Spending a Few Days with Daisy

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

The last trail for the day was along the stream that leaves the wetlands. The water is pumped out of the wetlands under the path where it flows on. 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

After returning to the parking lot area, I decided to walk to the trail that goes over the water and gives views from the bridges and the overlook area. Canada Geese

Back to the Greater Vancouver Zoo for a Walk

Posted in Activities, Alpaca, animals, Bear, birds, Deer, giraffe, hippo, Jaguar, Lemur, leopard, tiger, Warbler

One of the nice things about walking around the zoo is that the paths are in great shape regardless of the weather. Many trails can get muddy and difficult to walk on. As usual, I started out by going left and walking up to where the Lions & Tiger are. The Lions were not visible,… Continue reading Back to the Greater Vancouver Zoo for a Walk

I went for a couple of nice walks today as the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. I’ll get to the photos from today soon, but for now I’ll post the last of my photos taken in the last few days before today. The first & second photos are of a beautiful… Continue reading As 2022 Comes to an End

Life in Chilliwack

Many of you know that I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada for my entire life, until last July, when I moved to Chilliwack in British Columbia – still in Canada. Winnipeg is often called Winterpeg for good reason. It would not be winter without the -40 C and below temperatures. Add the blustery winds to… Continue reading Life in Chilliwack

I headed over to Sardis Park & Pond this morning. It is a beautiful sunny morning with the temperature right at 0C with a slight wind to make it feel a bit cooler than that. So far, I am really loving this winter. The water looks to be a bit chilly this morning, but there… Continue reading Ice on the Pond

Back to the Zoo

This morning I had an appointment with a dentist – just to get to know them and know what they can or will do for me. It looks like their policies are quite similar to the dentist I have been going to for the last few years in Winnipeg. They are going to contact them… Continue reading Back to the Zoo

I had a few reasons for moving from Manitoba to B.C. and the weather was one of those reasons. Yesterday it was +9C under a sunny sky while in Winnipeg, it was below zero with snow. In Winnipeg, one of my regular activities was to volunteer at the Assiniboine Park Zoo there and I was… Continue reading A Beautiful Day for a Walk in the Zoo
