Birds, Birds – Everywhere

I started my morning at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and after wandering around there taking photos, I stopped at the Sardis Park/Pond on the way home. All the photos are in in one gallery and can be viewed individually (in larger size) if you click on one and scroll through them.

A Brisk Walk on a Chilly Day

This is my 2nd winter in Chilliwack after my move from Winnipeg, Manitoba (sometimes called Winterpeg, Man Its cold. It was quite mild here last winter (my first B.C. winter), but I think some of the Manitoba weather has now found me. I can’t complain too much, since there is no snow on the ground and… Continue reading A Brisk Walk on a Chilly Day

A Stroll along Vedder River

My first walk in 2024

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

A Walk at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve

It is a little damp & chilly here now after a few days of rain (still more to come), but I headed out to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve for a walk.

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

My First Trip to Whistler

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

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 Trip to Gibsons – Sunshine Coast

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
