After spending most of my life in Winnipeg (commonly called Winterpeg), the amazing weather in British Columbia is such a bonus. I wandered around at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve a couple of days ago and was thrilled to see that the Great Blue Herons have picked their nests and their mates. I don’t… Continue reading Lots to See at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

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

This was another trip with the Senior Resources Group, where I have had many interesting trips. The Bloedel Conservatory is one place that I had visited before – but it was a few years ago when I still lived in Winnipeg, but had come west to visit my daughter.

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

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.
