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

Back to Cheam Lake Wetlands

The last time I was at the wetlands, I could see some of the ducks and geese dying – probably due to the Avian Influenza which was a problem last year during migration. I did not post any photos or write a blog about it at the time because I found it very upsetting. The… Continue reading Back to 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

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

This morning I decided that it was time to take a drive to the Cheam Lake Wetlands again. Now that autumn is arriving, I thought there might be more birds around and there were. A beautiful Great Blue Heron was happy to pose for a few photos. The Canada Geese were coming in waves after… Continue reading Lots of Bird Action at Cheam Lake Wetlands

Return to Cheam Lake Wetlands

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

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

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
