Swimming Together

Three Canada geese families swimming together – one family has three goslings, one has five goslings and the third has a record breaking seventeen goslings!

Into Saskatchewan

From Calgary we headed Southeast into Saskatchewan on secondary and third grade roads, and saw spectacular scenery and an abundance of wildlife. Certainly a change from Vancouver Island’s seascape. The drive skirted the Rockie Mountains before taking us further into the Prairies. it was such a treat to see Pronghorn Antelope, Bison, Raptors, Moose, Coyotes,  and new bird varieties. Now we’re in Drumheller, Alberta and flying home from Calgary on Tuesday. My image bank is full and happy!

Calgary, Alberta

I left Toronto yesterday and met up with my partner in Calgary. We have rented a car and the plan is to travel into Saskatchewan to see the wide open prairies and big sky. Calgary is a boom town due to the oil industry so there is a curious blend of old and new. We went for an after dinner stroll and discovered a new age looking pedestrian walkway over the Bow River. To our delight we also spotted a beaver – a rare sight indeed.

A Quick Visit to Toronto

I’ve been in Toronto and area for almost six days, filling each day with the sights, sounds, and food! Then I’ll be heading to the wide open Prairies before making my way back home in Victoria.

A Family Outing

Fisherman’s Wharf – Victoria, BC

There is a great fish and chip shop called Barb’s Fish and Chips at Fisherman’s Wharf, here in Victoria. Fisherman Wharf is also home to float homes that have a lot of character.

A Killdeer Family

A dad Killdeer was trying to lure me away from his family, while mom Killdeer tried hiding their baby who had become too big to hide.
