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

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

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

There are plenty of spots to visit for a walk in and/or near Chilliwack. I know there are still many more for me to discover, but even just going to my usual places, things will be different each time. More & more birds are returning – some just as a stopover before they continue further… Continue reading A Spring Morning at Sardis Park/Pond

A Walk and Some Salmon

Posted in British Columbia, canada, Chilliwack, duck, ducks, fish, life, Nature, pictures, walking, Wildlife2 Comments

It was raining in the morning, but when the rain stopped, I headed out for my walk. It has been several days since I’ve been to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve – so that is where I went. Until recently, I had always lived in Manitoba and there are no Salmon in the lakes,… Continue reading A Walk and Some Salmon

Chilliwack Summer Ends

In Chilliwack, the summers are warm and partly cloudy and the winters are very cold, wet, and overcast. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 1 °C to 26 °C and is rarely below -6 °C or above 32 °C. Whoever wrote the above has no idea what “very cold” means.… Continue reading Chilliwack Summer Ends

A New Section of the Vedder Rotary Trail – part 2

Posted in Activities, birds, canada, Chilliwack, crow, heron, kingfisher, life, Nature, pictures, trees, Vedder River, walking, Wildlife

I took so many photos along this trail yesterday that I couldn’t get them all into one post. So, to continue on my walk, I actually missed this guy perched on a tree right along the path. I saw him (or her) as he took flight and landed on a tree on the other side… Continue reading A New Section of the Vedder Rotary Trail – part 2

More About the Move & Another Walk or Two

One thing about a long distance move is that it takes much longer for your furniture to reach the destination than it takes to actually get there yourself. I knew this, but I had a carload of my own items and did not want to take my time so I divided my drives into 4… Continue reading More About the Move & Another Walk or Two

RMNP – part 3 – May, 2022

I continued to drive aimlessly throughout the park – stopping for photos and to just enjoy the views. I decided to head back to Wasagaming where I could get myself something to eat. I was glad to see the bakery was open so I had a wonderful & very filling lunch. Then I walked over… Continue reading RMNP – part 3 – May, 2022

Spring was so slow to arrive this year and there are spots where snow still exists (just days before June). I’ve been wanting to get to RMNP for ages. Last year I was there in April, but this year the roads have been under water or washed out in many places. The park had even… Continue reading Finally – Back to Riding Mountain National Park
