It was a gorgeous sunny morning here today and I decided it was time to head out to the Wetlands at Cheam Lake. There were very few birds around, but the blue sky and mountains along with the water made everything look so beautiful. I don’t have much else to say, but I’ll let the photos do… Continue reading A Beautiful Morning Walk at Cheam Lake Wetlands

Since I moved to B.C. about a year and a half ago, I have been walking quite a bit. I have several favourite places to walk, but there is one that is a little over 18 km to walk. I have walked it all – but not in one day – until Yesterday! I wasn’t… Continue reading I Walked the Whole Trail

The last time I was at the wetlands, I could see some of the ducks and geese dying – probably due to the Avian Influenza which was a problem last year during migration. I did not post any photos or write a blog about it at the time because I found it very upsetting. The… Continue reading Back to Cheam Lake Wetlands

With the changing seasons as Autumn arrives we are getting weather that is a little chillier at night with less daylight hours and quite a bit of rain. There are still some beautiful sunny days and for those I normally get out walking. Yesterday I went back to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve for… Continue reading Autumn Has Arrived

It is a little damp & chilly here now after a few days of rain (still more to come), but I headed out to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve for a walk. My only hope is that there would be no dead or dying birds out there – and there wasn’t! You can see… Continue reading A Walk at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

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. 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
