As before, I have put all the photos in one block, so you can scroll through and see the full photos, which are cropped to fit by Word Press. As I was thinking about heading out, I decided to take one more walk around to the other side of the reserve. While I was looking… Continue reading Sights While Walking At The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

This morning I decided that it was time to take a drive to the Cheam Lake Wetlands again. Now that autumn is arriving, I thought there might be more birds around and there were. A beautiful Great Blue Heron was happy to pose for a few photos. The Canada Geese were coming in waves after… Continue reading Lots of Bird Action at Cheam Lake Wetlands

After downloading and trying several different photo apps, and having trouble with the new learning curves, I was almost at the giving up point. But a couple of days ago, I saw a link to download my trusty old and no longer available photo app – Microsoft Photo Gallery. I clicked on that link and… Continue reading I Am BACK

The pond in Sardis Park is actually quite small, but it certainly attracts the birds and critters to it. Usually I take about 3 walks around the pond. Mom Mallard Duck with plenty of ducklings and a zoomed in photo to get a closer look.

Each time I headed out to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, I was hoping to see a baby – and until today, it was always just wishful thinking. But today -I found one in a nest with a parent standing guard. It is difficult to even see the nests with all the green leaves… Continue reading Finally – A Baby Heron!

Another Beautiful Morning for a Walk

After a couple of days of rain, the sun has returned and the day should be very warm (or hot) late in the afternoon. So, morning was a great time to head out for a walk. This little bunny was coming right up to me – no zoom used at all here. Then he moved… Continue reading Another Beautiful Morning for a Walk

Walking & Photography

Some people like to sit in nature and take photos of whatever comes along. I prefer to walk and take photos of whatever I come across. Both methods work, but I love walking (which is also a healthy thing to do). My camera is always in my hands – usually around my neck also. When… Continue reading Walking & Photography

Finally the sun decided to get out from behind the clouds to show the beautiful blue sky. The Wetlands at Cheam really glow in the sunlight, so I headed there to see what I could find. The photos are often cropped to fit, but by clicking on any picture it will show the entire scene.… Continue reading Had to Drive to Cheam Wetlands

Although I usually get to most of my favourite places to walk in nature each week, I have not been able to get to them for the time my car was on vacation in the Vancouver area. So, when I left the Great Blue Heron Reserve and had to pass Sardis Park/Pond on the way… Continue reading A Quick Stop at Sardis Park/Pond

Let’s Walk along a Dyke

While I was walking around the Great Blue Heron Reserve, I talked to a few people (like I often do) and one lady asked if I had walked along the dyke, which is just off the parking lot for the reserve. I hadn’t walked along this dyke – not at this location anyway. The dykes… Continue reading Let’s Walk along a Dyke
