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

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. I don’t know where all the birds are these day – but I did get to see and photograph a few birds when I was almost ready to head… Continue reading Not Many Birds Around – so Here are Fall Leafs

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

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

I mentioned in my last post that I had taken more photos of Daisy. For some reason, I had’t been able to transfer the photos to my pc and I don’t have Word Press on my phone. My fingers are too big to post anything to Word Press from my phone anyway. So – I… Continue reading Daisy
