This is my 2nd winter in Chilliwack after my move from Winnipeg, Manitoba (sometimes called Winterpeg, Man Its cold. It was quite mild here last winter (my first B.C. winter), but I think some of the Manitoba weather has now found me. I can’t complain too much, since there is no snow on the ground and… Continue reading A Brisk Walk on a Chilly Day

Taking a Break

Posted in Activities, birds, British Columbia, canada, Chilliwack, hummingbird, Nature5 Comments

Hopefully this is just a short break, but the problem is that my pc died. It really did not owe me anything. It started off as a Windows 7 and each time (until now) I could just upgrade it as windows upgraded and keep going. But Windows 11 was out of reach. Then, the pc… Continue reading Taking a Break

I am thrilled to be able to watch all these amazing Great Blue Herons in the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve near my home. Back in Manitoba, I was lucky to see one or sometimes two when I was in Riding Mountain National Park. I usually headed up there 2 – 3 times a year… Continue reading Great Blue Herons are Nesting

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

Anna’s Hummingbirds

Posted in Activities, birds, British Columbia, canada, Chilliwack, hummingbird, life, Nature, pictures, Wildlife, winter2 Comments

I mentioned in a previous blog that Anna’s Hummingbirds can stay here over the winter. I knew the winters were much milder in B.C. than they are in Winnipeg (often called Winterpeg), but I did not realize that even in freezing weather, these little birds do stay. Of course, freezing weather here is just under… Continue reading Anna’s Hummingbirds

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

I had no idea that I would be seeing a Hummingbird at the end of November – but it seems the Anna’s Hummingbird actually stays here all winter. Until this year, I have always lived in Winnipeg (aka Winterpeg). In July of this year, I moved west to Chilliwack, British Columbia and I knew winters… Continue reading Visitor Outside My Window & Another Walk

The Honeycomb Bed & Breakfast has been where I stay almost every time I have gone to Riding Mountain National Park.

I am often there when it is quiet because I enjoy staying there when the park is… Continue reading Honeycomb Bed & Breakfast 2022

I decided I needed a bit more of a walk than I had voting yesterday, so decided to head over to Assiniboine Park, to walk and take photos. First stop was the English Gardens. I waited (as I avoided the sprinklers) for the Hummingbird to return, but she didn’t. So, I left and headed over… Continue reading Assiniboine Park – English Gardens & Duck Pond
