After a few cool and cloudy days – today was finally bright & sunny. I had been thinking of heading to the wetlands at Cheam Lake, but wanted a sunny day to get the gorgeous mountain views and blue skies. So – that is where I went for my walk this morning. When I was… Continue reading Beautiful Sunny Day at Cheam Lake Wetlands

Moving Right Along

I am now getting close to walking the entire Vedder River Rotary Trail. If I hadn’t taken 2 or 3 tries at the turnaround spot at the bridge, I would have probably finished it by now. But today I was back to walking along the Vedder River, on the opposite side. The parking spot I… Continue reading Moving Right Along

I knew that the path that went by the Heron nesting area would be closed, but decided to go over there and see if I could see any birds on the nests yet. I have a good zoom on my camera and was sure I’d be able to zoom in enough to see. It turns… Continue reading Walking in the Rain at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

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

The last time I went to Fort Whyte Alive, I was prepared for wet & muddy paths and I wore my pair of rubber boots. The boots came in very handy as I waded through water & mud in a few spots. Today, I decided that it hadn’t rained in a few days and the… Continue reading A Walk at Fort Whyte Alive

Last year, I set out on this walk in February and I got myself lost. The trails were buried in snow and it was my first time walking this trail. After quite a bit of time (no idea of actual time), I ran into some people, who steered me in the right direction. This walk… Continue reading The Lakes & Beaches at Birds Hill Provincial Park

I put a lot of photos in this one, so smaller ones are shown on this page. On the… Continue reading My Walk at Fort Whyte Alive

It felt like ages since I’ve been to Fort Whyte Alive, but really, it has only been a couple of weeks. Walks are never the same though. I get to watch different critters/birds/reptiles/insects each time. It was a beautiful day for a walk. The heat wave which has been around for a few days was… Continue reading Walking Around Fort Whyte Alive with my Camera

Today I got to spend a few hours with my little buddy – Coconut! His family was going to be away for much of the day and as he is aging, he has developed problems with his eyes. He needs regular drops in each eye a few times a day. Of course, I was willing… Continue reading A Day in the Life
