I continued walking and snapping photos for most of the entire time we were on Gibson’s. I also stopped into a few of the stores where had lunch in one place and dessert in another place. A couple of times, I thought about buying something to take home – but then thinking about the bus… Continue reading A Trip to Gibson’s – Sunshine Coast – part 2

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

It has been just over a year since I packed my belongings and headed west to British Columbia. I have settled in at Chilliwack and am loving every minute. There is so much that is available to seniors – some is completely free and others have fees involved (but not high fees – just enough… Continue reading Sucia Island Picnic Cruise

A Weekend with Daisy

I’m sure by now that everyone knows how much I love critters (of any kind). So, I am thrilled when someone asks me to look after their critters. Daisy’s family was going to be away from early Friday morning until mid afternoon on Monday and since she couldn’t stay alone, I was asked to come… Continue reading A Weekend with Daisy

My Morning Photos

Posted in Activities, apartment, balcony, birds, British Columbia, canada, Chilliwack, crow, dove, life, mountains, Nature, pictures, tree, trees, Wildlife4 Comments

This morning was perfect for taking photos from my balcony. Until yesterday I had not seen (or heard) the doves in many years. When I owned my home in Winnipeg, there had been Mourning Doves who often visited, and nested nearby – but in the last few years they had completely disappeared. I really love… Continue reading My Morning Photos

A Little Walk

This morning I had an appointment at my bank (or I thought I did – but more on that later). My car is on vacation in another city, so I got up nice & early to have enough time to walk there. I have walked this distance a few times since I moved here about… Continue reading A Little Walk

Greater Vancouver Zoo

I had to head for the Vancouver area this morning and decided to leave a bit earlier than required, so I could stop in at the Zoo. Looking back at my posts, it seems my last visit there was in March. The last time I was there, the birds were still under lock-down due to… Continue reading Greater Vancouver Zoo

I Am BACK

After downloading and trying several different photo apps, and having trouble with the new learning curves, I was almost at the giving up point. But a couple of days ago, I saw a link to download my trusty old and no longer available photo app – Microsoft Photo Gallery. I clicked on that link and… Continue reading I Am BACK

Taking a Break

Posted in Activities, birds, British Columbia, canada, Chilliwack, hummingbird, Nature5 Comments

Hopefully this is just a short break, but the problem is that my pc died. It really did not owe me anything. It started off as a Windows 7 and each time (until now) I could just upgrade it as windows upgraded and keep going. But Windows 11 was out of reach. Then, the pc… Continue reading Taking a Break

A Walk Around Sardis Pond in Sardis Park

The pond in Sardis Park is actually quite small, but it certainly attracts the birds and critters to it. Usually I take about 3 walks around the pond. Mom Mallard Duck with plenty of ducklings and a zoomed in photo to get a closer look.
