Once again Canadians arrive at the day where we all take stock of our year and lives and expound on what we are thankful for. At the dinner table, this process may become trite or overly emotional, depending on the state of the thankful. At its worst, it is a chore, but at its best,Continue reading “Giving Thanks”

All photos taken July 29, 2021. I recall when I would thrill at the beautiful red sunrises and sunsets. Now the red tinge is augmented by smoke, not a thrill any longer. Climate change is undeniable. Here on earth, we are very fry-able. Stay well, stay safe and pray for rain. How is everything inContinue reading “Red Sky at Morning”
All photos taken on July 28, 2021 from my upstairs window. Wildfire smoke tinged skies and red suns have become the norm these days. While they may seem pretty, devastation lurks. Even the blue jay’s colour seems changed. Red Sun, Blue Jay © Out my window at end of day what a strange show, redContinue reading “Red Sun, Blue Jay”
All photos taken on July 27, 2021, during our walk through Tucker’s Field and Bunchberry Meadows. Fall Colours? © Oh no, this just cannot be, what is it, that I now see?

All photos taken on July 30, 2021. Water Hole © Down at the water hole, all the birds take their ease, cool water is calm and there is barely a breeze. Out in the middle, there begins a strange ripple, one chick, two chick, hey wait, am I seeing triple. Languid dog days of summerContinue reading “Water Hole”
All photos taken on July 14, 2021. A lot has changed since then. Blooms and garden are mostly done and fallen leaves litter the lawns. Sigh. Back Yard or Garden? © Tanka Back yard or garden? Depends on your point of view and where you come from. Either way, our oasis is more than worthContinue reading “Back Yard or Garden?”
All photos taken on the morning of July 15, 2021. It has been hot and hazy here of late and even though we can not yet smell smoke, it is obvious that forest fire smoke is in the air. How could it not be? So many fires are burning in B.C. Alberta and Saskatchewan, weContinue reading “Seeing Red”
All photos taken on a short bicycle ride around our little city on July 14, 2021. The day was promising to be hot and after a short morning walk to do errands, we had no desire for a longer sweaty walk. After tidying up a few things, we headed out on our bikes to seeContinue reading “City Cycle Cuteness”
