I went for a walk at the Great Blue Heron Reserve this morning since the weather was beautiful and I had to get out and walk.

Since arriving in Chilliwack and tackling the Vedder Rotary Trail last year, I have only visited bits & pieces of the trail – but a couple of days ago, I decided I would walk further and see how that went. I started at the bridge on Vedder Road at the zero marker and I walked… Continue reading The Start of My Second Vedder Rotary Trail Walk

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.

I went on another senior’s bus trip a couple of day ago – to Whistler in British Columbia. It was a beautiful day! Unfortunately, I left my camera at home, so the photos today were taken on my phone. The above photo has nothing to do with the trip to Whistler, but it is a… Continue reading My First Trip to Whistler

The senior’s group here in Chilliwack continue to schedule bus rides and although I don’t go on every trip, I do often take quite a few of them. Yesterday it was a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. I believe I was at the aquarium several years ago when I drove to B.C. to visit my… Continue reading Vancouver Aquarium

Return to Cheam Lake Wetlands

The last few times I’ve gone to the wetlands, it has been very quiet. The views are still beautiful, but very little in the way of wildlife. Now that the birds have finished raising their babies, many of the birds have returned and I was even lucky enough to find and photograph a new subject… Continue reading Return to Cheam Lake Wetlands

The Seniors’ Resource Society in Chilliwack has a great variety of trips for local seniors to take at a reasonable cost. I have mentioned some of the trips before, but really have to thank the resource society for making these arrangements for us to enjoy. Since I am fairly new to the area, I am… Continue reading A Trip to Gibsons – Sunshine Coast
