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.

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

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

I was just about to get into my bed last night when I looked out the window. The moon and the clouds were amazing to watch – so I grabbed my camera and snapped some photos from my apartment in Chilliwack, British Columba. This morning, everything is bright & sunny.

When I was walking on the Vedder River Rotary Trail, I saw some signs about the Browne Creek Wetlands, so yesterday I decided to head back over there to see what I could find in the wetlands.

After living in Winnipeg (where I was born – many years ago) I am happy that I moved to B.C last year. Many of the winter days in Winnipeg are sunny – which is great for photographs. The main problem with that is that it is also bitterly cold and often with with nasty winds.… Continue reading Walking on a Cloudy (but warm) morning

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

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

Back to the Greater Vancouver Zoo for a Walk

Posted in Activities, Alpaca, animals, Bear, birds, Deer, giraffe, hippo, Jaguar, Lemur, leopard, tiger, Warbler

One of the nice things about walking around the zoo is that the paths are in great shape regardless of the weather. Many trails can get muddy and difficult to walk on. As usual, I started out by going left and walking up to where the Lions & Tiger are. The Lions were not visible,… Continue reading Back to the Greater Vancouver Zoo for a Walk
