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

I am now getting close to walking the entire Vedder River Rotary Trail. If I hadn’t taken 2 or 3 tries at the turnaround spot at the bridge, I would have probably finished it by now. But today I was back to walking along the Vedder River, on the opposite side. The parking spot I… Continue reading Moving Right Along

I knew that the path that went by the Heron nesting area would be closed, but decided to go over there and see if I could see any birds on the nests yet. I have a good zoom on my camera and was sure I’d be able to zoom in enough to see. It turns… Continue reading Walking in the Rain at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

I spent the first 71 years of my life living in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the last 7 months in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Winters are completely different in these 2 provinces. In Manitoba, winter lasts for about 6 months. Many of the days have bright sunlight, but on the bright sunny days, the temperatures often plunge… Continue reading Views on a Sunny Day – part 1

This my first Spring in British Columbia and it has been very spring-like since December. I love this weather, but it is so hard to get used to seeing green grass in January along with the arrival of the migrating ducks and geese. Actually a good number of ducks and geese did not even head… Continue reading The Return of Some Birds

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

January 1st wasn’t great for walking, so I took a long walk on January 2nd. My first stop was the Sardis Park/Pond in Chilliwack. This is one of my favourite places to walk – but I have to admit that all the walking spots I’ve found so far are all my favourites – LOL. When… Continue reading A Happy New Year Walk

My friend Karen – who used to live in Chilliwack gave me directions to Fairfield Island for a place to walk. So, today the sun was shining and I decided it would be a good day to check it out. To get there I had to drive on a road over the Hope River Bridge… Continue reading Fairfield Island
