This is my 2nd winter in Chilliwack after my move from Winnipeg, Manitoba (sometimes called Winterpeg, Man Its cold. It was quite mild here last winter (my first B.C. winter), but I think some of the Manitoba weather has now found me. I can’t complain too much, since there is no snow on the ground and… Continue reading A Brisk Walk on a Chilly Day

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

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

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 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

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
