Hoping for a Breeze and Some Shade

All photos taken on July 26, 2022. We skipped our weekly walk at Bunchberry Meadows last week. The bug jackets are fairly hot and sweating while beating off mosquitoes was not our idea of fun. But, today promised to be dry and cooler, so we got out early to do a morning walk of 8

a Sunday City Cycle

All photos taken on July 24, 2022. After our recent cycle around Beaumont, we opted top see if we could retrace our route. Turns out, my memory is not what it used to be, but we came reasonably close, despite that, plus added on a few kilometers for a total of about 19.6 km (12
