Walk Among the Roses

All photos taken on June 27, 2022, during our walk along the North Saskatchewan River near Devon. When we chose this trail, we were worried about not seeing as many wildflowers along this hike. But, if anything, there were more flowers, especially Alberta wild roses than at Bunchberry and Tucker’s. To continue reading, please clickContinue reading “Walk Among the Roses”

S’mores & S’unset

All photos taken on May 19, 2022. What better way to end the perfect day than with S’mores on the back deck and then a walk down to the inlet to watch the sun set.

That Will Leave a Mark

All photos taken on June 27, 2022. Weekly walk time and I felt like it was time to wander Prospector’s Point, Devonian and River View Trails to see what they looked like all dressed for summer.

Others were there, but the beach was not crowded in any sense of the word. We all agreed we could sit here for a while and contemplate our dayContinue reading “Sombrio Beach Daydreaming”

On the Rocks

All photos taken on May 19, 2022. As we popped out onto the beach from the Parkinson Creek to Beach trail, we saw why our efforts to hike the trail were more than worth it. The sunny blue skies and the azure seas were in total harmony with the grey rock beach. It was jawContinue reading “On the Rocks”

Down by the Water

All photos taken on May 19, 2022. On the previous rainy morning, we had walked down to Port San Juan and Pacific Gateway Marina, to get the lay of the land and the view from there. It was raining then, so we cut the visit short and did not spot the path down to theContinue reading “Down by the Water”

Exploration Date

All photos taken on June 20, 2022. We have been in a bit of a rainy spell of late, but managed to find a window to bike around our small city and see what was shaking. We call this route, the lake (actually, storm pond) loop and it is always nice to see what waterContinue reading “Exploration Date”
