Sardis Pond has been pretty quiet over the winter. Although some birds stayed, most went somewhere else. Some of the birds there today might stay for the summer and some of them might head further north after taking a break here. I needed a short and easy walk after yesterday’s longer than usual one, so… Continue reading Sardis Pond is a Busy Place

It has only been a little over a week since my last post, but it has been a busy few days. I was afraid that I had lost all the photos on my last walk, but luckily (since I was uploading on a pc that I hadn’t used in months), the automatically delete option was… Continue reading Catching Up

Spending a Few Days with Daisy

Daisy’s family were heading out of town for a few days, so they asked if I could stay and look after their sweet little girl. Daisy is getting up in age and no longer enjoys going into the mountains when there is snow on the ground. She still enjoys summer there though. I met Daisy… Continue reading Spending a Few Days with Daisy

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

According to the signs at the Reserve, the trail walking on the side of the lake where the Herons nest will be closed beginning March. Otherwise the number of people walking by the nests would disturb the Herons. I’ll still be able to zoom in on the nests from the other side of the lake,… Continue reading Adventures at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

The last trail for the day was along the stream that leaves the wetlands. The water is pumped out of the wetlands under the path where it flows on. I don’t know where the stream goes as the trail ends, but the stream keeps going. Lots of evidence showing the busy Beavers work. Last time… Continue reading Views on a Sunny Day – part 3

Yesterday I received a letter from BCAA telling me that my payment had not gone through on my credit card on file and my membership would be cancelled if not rectified. About a week earlier, I had phoned them to renew this membership and was told that it had already been renewed. So, since I… Continue reading A Little Walk on a Cloudy Morning

We have had a few cloudy and/or rainy days lately, and when I saw the forecast was for sunshine I decided to head out to Chem Lake Wetlands for my walk. It was so beautiful in the sun! A Couple of views from the still frozen lake. The sun hadn’t made it past the mountains… Continue reading Sunny Morning at Chem Lake Wetlands
